    ??On Zouma Ridge, there is an observation post.

    Although they are more than ten miles away, standing on Zoumaling and looking down, you can still vaguely see the explosive red light rising in Songyang County, which looks like fireworks.

    But Zhong Yi knows very well that these fireworks can kill people!

    Just as Zhong Yi was watching the battle, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

    When I looked back, I saw He Wenxi, the chief of staff, walking over quickly.

    "Take a seat." He Wenxi paid a military salute to Zhong Yi, and then said, "I just received an emergency call from the 1st Rong Division. The Japs' offensive is very fierce, and the county office has been lost."

    Zhong Yi had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "What about the casualties?"

    He Wenxi said: "As of the time the telegram was sent, more than 500 soldiers of the 1st Rong Division had died and more than 300 were seriously injured! No less than 3,000 officers and soldiers were slightly injured!"

    Zhong Yi looked stern when he heard this.

    Zhong Yi had already expected that the 116th Division's attack would be very fierce, but he still did not expect that it would be so fierce. In less than half a night, the 1st Rong Division actually lost nearly a battalion.

    This is the 1st Rong Division, and it is still fighting in the streets. If it had been replaced by another unit, or it had been replaced by a field battle, the entire division would have been exhausted by now.

    He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "Master, do you want the 1st Rong Division to slightly shrink its defense line?"

    What He Wenxi meant was for the 1st Rong Division to form a regiment and rely on its strength to defend.

    The biggest fear of doing this is enemy shelling or bombing, but now we don¡¯t have this worry.

    After saying this for a moment, He Wenxi continued: "After all, it is night time, and it is in western Zhejiang. The Japs' aviation force cannot fly here, and the Yamazaki Brigade only has one mountain artillery brigade, so its firepower is limited after all."

    Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "If the Rong 1st Division is allowed to form a group, the Yamazaki Brigade will inevitably control most of the county, which will affect the course of the next battle!"

    What Zhong Yi was most worried about was that the Yamazaki Brigade refused to withdraw from the city. Instead, the entire brigade retreated into Songyang County and relied on the buildings in the city to fight with them in street battles. As a result, although in the end the entire Yamazaki Brigade still could not escape.  The outcome will be annihilation, but the price the national army will have to pay will be much greater!

    And the most important thing is that the entire Songyang County will be reduced to ruins.

    Zhong Yi still hopes to preserve the ancient city of Songyang as much as possible.

    He Wenxi said: "But in this case, the casualties of the 1st Rong Division will be too great."

    Zhong Yi thought for a while and said: "Let's let the other seven divisions start in advance."

    He Wenxi said: "But Sir, it's night now, and the Japanese may not be able to determine the exact situation of our army."

    Things are so paradoxical sometimes. Many times, on the battlefield, they have to hide their own details in every possible way to prevent the enemy commander from getting the exact information. But now, they are worried that the Japanese will not be able to obtain their details. Now they are  Really need the Japs to get their intelligence.

    "It doesn't matter." Zhong Yi said calmly, "You can make up for it in other ways."

    After saying this, Zhong Yi continued: "Immediately call Commander-in-Chief Luo and ask him to call the headquarters in the name of the enemy's headquarters before the Battle of Central Zhejiang. He said that the eight main divisions of the 41st Group Army have moved the Yamazaki Brigade.  The regiment is encircling Songyang and will launch a general offensive before tomorrow evening to completely annihilate the Yamazaki Brigade."

    "What a good idea!" He Wenxi's eyes suddenly lit up.

    ¡­¡­

    Three miles east of Songyang City, there is a Taoist temple called Dongyang Temple.

    This Taoist temple has been used by Yamazaki Uyoshi as his headquarters.

    At this moment, Yamazaki Ukichi is holding a telescope and standing on the roof with his two captains to watch the battle.

    Since the city wall of Songyang County is only three meters high, from the top of the Taoist Temple Hall, you can clearly see the fighting situation in the county.

    From the current point of view, the 109th Infantry Regiment, which is responsible for the main attack, is pushing forward step by step, and the area controlled by the Japanese army has reached a quarter of the entire county.

    But Yamazaki Ukichi was obviously not satisfied with this.

    After watching for a few minutes, Yamazaki Ukichi suddenly put down his telescope, turned back to the captain of the 109th Infantry Regiment, Takidera Kaisaburo, and said: "Takidera-kun, your regiment's progress is too slow! At this rate,  We cannot drive out the Chinese army before dawn, speed up, you have to speed up!"

    "Hai!" Takiji Kaisaburo suddenly nodded. Just when he was about to go to the front line to supervise the battle in person, something unexpected happened.

    Without any warning, in YamazakiGunshots rang out from the north, east, and south of the regiment's station at the same time, and then, bursts of explosive red light bloomed one after another.

    "What's going on?" Yamazaki Ukichi was stunned for a moment.

    Shima Haranyoshi and Takidera Kaisaburo were also a little confused.

    After a long while, Shimahara Yoshi finally came to his senses and shouted: "Commander of the brigade, something serious has happened. The main force of the 41st China Army must have arrived!"

    "The main force of the 41st China Army? It doesn't look like that."

    Although it happened suddenly, Yamazaki Ukichi was not too panicked, because he still held an infantry regiment and a mountain artillery regiment to assist in the battle. There was no reason to be afraid of the Chinese army's counterattack.

    Shimaharayoshi said anxiously: "Commander of the brigade, this is probably just the forward force of the China Army!"

    "A forward force?" Takidera Kaisaburo asked, "Since we are a forward force, how can we launch an attack rashly?"

    "Takidera-kun, isn't this obvious?" Shimaharayoshi was so anxious that he almost jumped up and said, "It must be because the Chinese Army in Songyang City suffered too many casualties. In order to reduce the pressure on the Chinese Army in the city, the commander of the Chinese Army  Order the forward troops who arrived first to launch an attack immediately."

    After saying this, Shimaharayoshi said to Yamazaki Ukichi: "Commander of the brigade, before the main force of the 41st China Army has arrived, quickly withdraw the 109th Infantry Regiment from Songyang City.  Come out, this way, we can repair some simple defenses before the main force of China arrives!"

    After another pause, Shimaharayoshi said: "If we hesitate again and wait until the main force of the 41st China Army arrives, we will be in a dilemma. Let's go into the city and fight in the streets. Most of the county area is still under the control of the China Army."  Come on, but if you go out of the city to fight in the field and there are no fortifications to rely on, you will be in big trouble!"

    Yamazaki Ukichi¡¯s brows furrowed and he hesitated in his heart.

    At this moment, a communications staff officer hurriedly climbed up the ladder to the top of the hall.

    "Brigade commander!" The communications staff officer came to Yamazaki Ukichi and paused, "The headquarters sent an urgent message, saying that they had obtained information from reliable channels. The other seven main divisions of the 41st China Army are sending messages to our brigade.  We rushed over and ordered the troops in the city to withdraw from the city immediately and repair the fortifications in order to hold on for a long time!"
