Shanghai, the headquarters of the Japanese Thirteenth Army.
It was already late at night, and most of the combat staff in the war room had gone off work, leaving only Usami Takashi, Hinata Shiaki and a few staff on duty.
Usami Takashi looked at the sand table with his eyes and said nothing for a long time.
The reason is simple, because the battle to capture Yinjiang did not go smoothly.
Yesterday, following the Fifth Division and the 22nd Division, the 15th and 17th Divisions also rushed to the ancient forest and Dongqiao areas in western Yin to join the siege of Yinjiang River.
However, after a day of fierce attack, the 15th, 17th and 22nd divisions made no progress, and instead lost more than 2,000 imperial soldiers in vain!
In just one day, more than two thousand elite imperial soldiers were lost!
Such a result was somewhat unacceptable to Usami Taka.
Usami Taka had already anticipated that this battle would not be easy, but he still did not expect it to be so difficult.
After a while, Usami Taka asked Hinata Shiaki again: "Hyuga Shiaki, how is the situation of the fifth division?"
Hyuga Shimei said: "The Oikawa detachment of the Fifth Division has made little progress in Hengjie Town in western Yinxi. As for the Sakamoto detachment in the direction of Jiulong Lake in northern Yinzhou, no news has been sent back yet."
"This Sakamoto Jun." Usami Taka said angrily, "It must be intentional."
Hyuga Shiaki said: "If this is the case, maybe the Sakamoto detachment can give us a surprise."
"Surprise?" Usami Takashi shook his head and said, "It's better not to be frightened. The Kawashima Agency said that Zhong Yi has personally led a regiment of the Coastal Defense Corps to Jiulong Lake."
Hearing this, Hinata Shiaki's face darkened.
As the saying goes, Zhong Yi really doesn¡¯t dare to take the shadow of a person¡¯s famous tree lightly.
But at this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly hurried into the war room.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" The Communications Staff Officer quickly walked up to Usami Taka, bowed deeply and then reported, "The Sakamoto detachment is in urgent need of a call. After a day of fierce fighting, they have continuously broken through the three lines of defense of the Chinese Army. After yesterday's capture of Jiulong Mountain, After that, we captured three more mountains today: Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Hengtong Mountain."
"Nani?" Usami Taka was shocked when he heard this, "Captured three more mountains?"
Hyuga Shiaki even pumped his fist and shouted: "Let me tell you, the Sakamoto detachment will not let us down."
While talking, the two of them had quickly arrived in front of the sand table. Hyuga Shiaki quickly found Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Shengmao Mountain from the sand table, and then pointed them out to Usami Taka.
"Yo Xi." Usami Takashi nodded happily upon seeing this, "After seizing the three mountains including Shengmao Mountain, the passage on the left bank of Jiulong Lake will be opened. Then the heavy equipment of the Sakamoto detachment can continue to move into the Yinbei Plain. In this way, the tank troops can join the battle, and the next battle will be much easier.¡±
"Yes." Hyuga Shiaki also said, "What's even more gratifying is that from Shengtun Mountain to the south, the Chinese Army has only Shibang Mountain and Phoenix Mountain, two small hills with an altitude of less than 100 meters, to hold on. Basically, There is no danger to defend! The Sakamoto detachment will be able to march straight in and push all the way to the outside of Yinjiang City!"
At this time, Usami Taka's brows suddenly tightened again.
"That's not right." Usami Takashi frowned, "This went too smoothly!"
"Nani?" Hyuga Shiaki said in astonishment, "Chief of Staff, isn't it good that everything went smoothly?"
"It would be great if the war really goes so well." Usami Taka nodded, then shook his head and said, "But be afraid, there is another mystery in it."
"Is there another mystery?" Hyuga Shiaki asked, "What's the mystery?"
"I don't know." Usami Taka shook his head and said, "But I always feel that things should not go so smoothly. After all, the opponent of the Sakamoto detachment is Zhong Yi himself, and Zhong Yi has always been cunning, but his performance today was It¡¯s clumsy, it¡¯s so abnormal and illogical!¡±
Hinata Shiaki frowned and said, "If there is really a problem, what would it be?"
Usami Taka mused: "I think counterattack at night is the most likely."
Speaking of this meal, Usami Taka added: "Call the Sakamoto detachment immediately and ask them to be vigilant and beware of the Coastal Defense Corps' night counterattack."
"Hai."
¡¡
Soon, Usami Taka's telegram arrived in Zhangqi Town.
Sakurada Takeshi reported to Sakamoto Jun: "Detachment leader, Usami-kun reminded me??Strengthened the night alert, saying that the China Coast Guard Corps may launch a surprise attack at night. "
"Does he need to be reminded?" Sakamoto said smoothly, "From the first battle with the China Army at Xinkou Battle, we have discovered that the China Army is very good at night fighting, because night fighting can not only effectively avoid the imperial army's advantage The artillery firepower can also give full play to their advantage of familiarity with the terrain."
After finishing speaking, Jun Sakamoto turned to ask Genichi Sakata, the captain of the 42nd Infantry Regiment: "Sakata-kun, have all the arrangements for night security been made?"
"Hai." Sakata Moto said after a pause, "Everything has been arranged."
After a pause, Sakata Genichi continued: "Including Pingfeng Mountain, Wanzhang Mountain and Shengtuo Mountain that were just captured today, at least one infantry squadron has been ambushed secretly, and the machine gun firepower has also been strengthened. It will be fine if the Chinese Army does not come. If you dare to come, you will never come back!"
"Yo Xi." Sakamoto Jun nodded happily, "Thank you for your hard work, Sakata-kun."
"Hai." Sakata Genichi paused again and said, "Being able to serve the Empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor is a humble duty and a supreme honor for all the Imperial Soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Regiment."

Xuejiacun, village entrance.
Zhong Yi was pacing back and forth under the big tree at the entrance of the village, as if waiting for something.
Cao Guolin and several battalion commanders of the 5th Regiment stood aside, looking confused.
Zhong Yi decided to counterattack at night. They already knew about Cao Guolin, but what puzzled them was that it was already past midnight, but Zhong Yi still had no intention of taking action.
Cao Guolin really wants to ask, when will we wait?
But in the end, Cao Guolin did not dare to step forward and ask.
About half an hour later, a clanking sound suddenly came from the tractor road ahead.
Immediately afterwards, a fleet of more than a dozen human-powered tricycles appeared at the entrance of Xuejia Village.
The leading rider was none other than Mr. Zhao Xingjiu, the captain of the Xiaogang Town transportation team.
"Brother Yi, are you in a hurry?" Zhao Xingjiu stopped the tricycle and said with a smile, "We encountered some problems on the road, so we were delayed for a while. So what, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhong Yi said hurriedly, "You guys came at the right time!"
After saying this, Zhong Yi turned back to Cao Guolin and said: "Commander Cao, quickly lead people to unload the equipment and distribute it to various artillery groups." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
