The Japanese army accelerated its preparations for the Zhejiang operation at the cost of sacrificing a lieutenant colonel intelligence officer.

The Japanese army's movements were getting faster and faster, and the Beijing-Shanghai area obtained more and more relevant intelligence. As more and more intelligence was gathered, Zhang Anping became more and more stable.

It is true that the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign was a terrible loss in history, but that does not mean that we will also lose in this time and space!
Now, the frequent movements of the Japanese army before the war have been intercepted by ourselves - this is equivalent to our side fighting the war with the entire map open. It is not going to be like in the original time and space, where even the headquarters of the Third War Zone was lost, right?
And Zhang Anping felt that this time was different from before.

In many past battles, the National Army was at a disadvantage in many aspects.

Not this time.

We have the upper hand in the air force and the army!
In terms of the air force, we have the Allied bombing formations, fighter formations, and the National Army's air force, so we have a certain advantage in the air force.

As for the army, the troops are several times the enemy's. Although the overall quality is weaker than the enemy, the number of three times the enemy is not just for show, right? In addition, the rainy season is coming soon. The area controlled by the national army is mountainous, and the Japanese army is seriously disturbed whether it is marching or fighting.

It can be said that we have the right time, place and people!
Another point is that the Beijing-Shanghai area headed by Zhang Anping can provide detailed intelligence to his side - it's like playing a game, where your side has the entire map open, superior military strength, and geographical advantage, while the enemy is not only the attacker, but also has only one-third of its military strength.

I have the advantage, how can I lose?
As long as we hold the defense zone of the Three War Zones this time, the bombing of the Japanese mainland will become the norm in the future. If the industrial areas are bombed every now and then, the Japanese devils who are already [overdue online loans] will definitely have a harder time than in the original time and space.

It makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

……

The Japanese army established a combat command in Shaoxing and upgraded the Zhejiang operation to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi operation.

As soon as he obtained the intelligence, Zhang Anping increased the intensity of intelligence reporting and began to send important intelligence directly to the attendant room through the bureau headquarters, instead of being responsible only for providing intelligence to the Third War Zone Command as before.

It's no wonder that the Military Secretariat attached great importance to the intelligence from the Beijing-Shanghai area. Seeing that the Japanese army upgraded the Zhejiang Operation to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Operation, the Military Secretariat began to strengthen the strength of the Third War Zone on the one hand, and on the other hand, ordered the Ninth War Zone to prepare for coordination with the Third War Zone so that the Ninth War Zone could send troops to the Third War Zone at a critical moment.

On the other hand, faced with more and more intelligence on Japanese troop deployments, the Third War Zone decided to replicate the famous Tianlu tactics of Commander Xue from the Ninth War Zone in order to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.

In short, everything gives people a feeling that times are changing and the Japanese invaders are doomed.

It was at this time that the troops Zhang Anping brought from Shanghai completed their reorganization and were given a designation by the Family Planning Commission (JSWYH):

The newly formed 87th Division and the newly formed 89th Division.

I have to mention here that the number of the National Army’s newly formed X Division is actually only 49 now. Before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there were only 55 newly formed divisions in total.

Previously, Liu Xinjie led the rebellious puppet army back to the Third War Zone from Shanghai. During the more than 20 days of fighting, this unit fought with the Japanese army many times. It withdrew from Shanghai to the Third War Zone and fought dozens of battles along the way, showing the spirit of an iron army.

The chief aide-de-camp thought that since this unit had fought its way out of Shanghai, and the 88th was one of his ace divisions in the previous Battle of Shanghai, he gave the name of the 88th Division to this uprising unit.

Therefore, the newly formed 88th Division was given its name.

After Zhang Anping once again brought nearly 36 people from Shanghai to the Third War Zone, he naturally gave the numbers 36 and to the two newly established divisions. If the number of the newly formed th Division had not been given, there would probably be no new th Division, but a new th Division.

Unfortunately, the New 88th Division had already rushed to Yunnan at this time, but because it did not catch up with the expeditionary force, it stayed in the country as a reserve force.

Otherwise, the three divisions can form an independent army-level unit.

Since the newly formed 25th and th divisions had just been formed and had not yet been assigned to army-level units, the Family Planning Commission assigned these two divisions to the th Army Group, which was being reorganized, and stationed them in Jinyun.

This was also one of the countermeasures taken by the National Army in response to the Zhejiang operation prepared by the Japanese Army.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Anping felt that defense was ultimately passive, and he should find a way to seize various strategic locations while the Japanese army was gathering and gain the strategic initiative, rather than passively waiting for the Japanese army's attack.

But his words were of low importance. In large-scale troop operations, as a small major general of the Military Control Commission, he had little say except for providing intelligence support. A simple "you know shit" could shut him up. So after his suggestions failed, Zhang Anping honestly served as his intelligence officer, responsible for intelligence support.

Originally, he was still planning the third bombing of Japan with American representatives. The original scheduled bombing date was mid-May, but with the frequent actions of the Japanese army, the bombing had to be temporarily stopped to fully prepare for the next battle.

With Zhang Anping's continuous intelligence support, the time came to the night of May 5th.

At this time, the Japanese Army had deployed its 13th Army in the eastern section of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road. According to current intelligence, the 13th Army had not yet completed its large-scale assembly and should have taken several days to launch an offensive operation. However, on the night of the 14th, the Japanese Army's 13th Army, which had already assembled, did not wait for the large-scale assembly to be completed and set out that night.

The 70th Division was deployed in large numbers in the direction of Fenghua Xikou at dawn on the 15th;
The 22nd Division moved south along the Cao'e River, broke through the Kuomintang's position in Zhangzhen, and headed straight for Shengxian and Xinchang.
Kono's brigade was dispatched from Shaoxing, heading straight for Zhuji;
The 15th Division set out from Xiaoshan, crossed the Puyang River and headed straight for the Pujiang River;
The 16th Division and the 33rd Division also marched out of Fuyang and attacked Tonglu.

Previously, the Third War Zone hoped to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Jinhua and Lanxi to thwart the Japanese army's intention to destroy the airports in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. However, the Admiralty Office rejected this decision, believing that if a decisive battle was fought in Jinhua and Lanxi, the Japanese army would be at its peak and would be disadvantageous to our side.

The Secretariat believed that a decisive battle near Quzhou would be appropriate.

Because of this strategy, the Third War Zone was prepared to deal with the Japanese army:
The line from Anhua (west of Zhuji, close to Pujiang and Yiwu) to Changle was the first position, and the line from Lanxi to Jinhua was the second position. After the enemy forces were exhausted in these two positions, the decisive battle was fought in Quzhou.

The Ninth War Zone was responsible for operations on the western front and ensuring that the Third War Zone would not be attacked by Japanese troops from the Nanchang direction.

Faced with the attack launched by the Japanese army, the Three War Zones followed the preset decisive battle strategy and first blocked the enemy separately at the first position to consume the enemy's strength and slow down the enemy's marching speed, preparing for the subsequent decisive battle in Quzhou.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking - in many cases, there are actually no mistakes in strategy, but the accumulated errors in tactical execution will eventually affect the strategy.

The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign is such an example.

The Third War Zone hoped that the first position could consume the enemy's strength, but the reality was:

On the first line of defense, many troops collapsed at the first touch!
Not only did they fail to stop the enemy, but they also suffered heavy casualties and lost a large amount of supplies.

The Japanese army basically started to take action on the 15th - but it was not a direct battle, and they had to march during the period.

However, Zhuji fell on the 17th.

And this is just the beginning.

On the 19th, Tonglu fell;

On the 20th, Dongyang fell;

On the 21st, Yiwu and Yongkang fell;
On the 22nd, Jiande fell;

No. 23; Tangxi fell!

From this timetable of the fall, we can see one thing: the idea of ​​relying on the first line of defense to block, delay, and consume the enemy is a huge joke!

Facing the rapid fall of cities one after another, no one knew how the theater headquarters would react, but Zhang Anping had only one idea:
The Japanese marching speed was comparable to the speed of the rebel army marching across eastern Zhejiang at that time!
But the first line of defense was clearly built by the National Army with a huge investment of manpower and material resources to consume the enemy's manpower, but what was the result?

It collapses at the first touch!
Japanese dramas only require walking, walking, and walking again, and once they arrive at a place, they can occupy that place.

At this time, the national army could only hope to stop the enemy in the second preset position in Jinhua and Lanxi!
Because the front line was defeated too quickly, they were not prepared at all for the decisive battle in Quzhou!

The Third War Zone ordered to defend Lanxi and Jinhua to the death, and decided to adopt an internal and external pincer attack in the direction of Jinhua to smash the enemy's encirclement of Jinhua.

However, most of the troops on the outer line had retreated from the first front and had long been frightened by the Japanese offensive. They did not cooperate with the 63rd and 86th Divisions defending the city at all. The Japanese army even completely ignored their non-existence.

The two divisions defending Jinhua eventually had to face the Japanese attack alone. Although they relied on fortifications to hold out for several days in the defensive operations, they eventually had to abandon their positions and break out to the Beishan Mountain because a large number of their positions were destroyed.

The only thing worth mentioning in the Battle of Jinhua was that during the battle, the commander of the 15th Division, Naotsugu Sakai, stepped on a landmine and died - the news was brought by Zhang Anping, and the Third War Zone Command was celebrating because of this, but Sakai's death did not change the outcome of Jinhua.

On the 28th, Lanxi and Jinhua fell at the same time!
During this stage of the offensive, the Zhuji and Tonglu fronts were completely made of paper and mud and collapsed at the first touch. Although Pujiang had been holding on, it did not affect the overall situation!

In the direction of Shengxian and Xinchang, the Japanese army's attack was not smooth. Even though Lanxi and Jinhua fell, even though Dongyang and Yiwu in the west fell, these two places were always in the hands of the National Army. In addition, the National Army on this line of defense could retreat to Tiantai, which earned a little face for the Third War Zone.

Unfortunately, no matter how much face was earned, it was of no use, because with the fall of Lanxi and Jinhua, the Japanese army's spearhead had already pointed to the preset decisive battle battlefield, Quzhou.

The commander of the Third War Zone who went to the Quzhou battlefield to command firmly stated at the meeting:

Quzhou must not be lost!

In Quzhou, the three war zones prepared a total of 200,000 troops, one of which was arranged to defend the city, and the rest of the troops were deployed in an arc shape on the outside - the outside line maintained an absolute advantage in manpower, intending to achieve an absolute victory in the decisive battle by attacking from both inside and outside!

On May 5, an urgent telegram came from the Military Control Commission in Nanchang.

After several days of preparation, the enemy in Nanchang dispatched two divisions and two detachments, assisted by thousands of puppet troops, totaling about 40,000 people. On that day, they forced a crossing of the Fuhe River and marched towards eastern Jiangxi.

Once the enemy in Nanchang occupies eastern Jiangxi, the retreat of the Third War Zone will be cut off!
Although the Ninth War Zone would be responsible for intercepting Nanchang and ensuring that the Third War Zone's retreat would not be cut off, Commander Gu of the Third War Zone still felt threatened - he believed that a decisive battle with the Japanese army must be fought as soon as possible to ensure strategic initiative.

Therefore, the garrisons in Quzhou and its surrounding areas began to mobilize, determined to avenge the previous humiliation and defeat the Japanese army and turn the tide of the war in the next battle.

The decisive battle is coming, and Zhang Anping will naturally not be idle. He will send all the forces at hand to collect intelligence on the battlefield and all over the battlefield. He patted his chest and said:

The intelligence of the Military Control Commission will definitely be updated at any time. Please do not have any concerns about the intelligence. If any unit encounters problems due to the intelligence, he, Zhang Shihao, will be absolutely responsible!

At this time, the Japanese also felt the National Army's intention to fight a decisive battle from the National Army's mobilization, which was also in line with their wishes.

After all, it would be difficult for the Third War Zone to take over the internal and external positions of its subordinates in Quzhou by force when their main forces have not yet assembled. On the contrary, if the National Army takes the initiative to attack and intends to fight a decisive battle, they can avoid the huge losses caused by a strong attack.

But the Japanese would not let the National Army achieve its main offensive goal smoothly. They dispatched troops and prepared to attack instead of defend and disrupt the rhythm of the National Army.

6 hours before the decisive battle on the morning of June 4, the Third War Zone Command issued an order to all units to prepare for the decisive battle. At 16 o'clock the next morning, all units attacked according to the order!
As an intelligence officer, Zhang Anping set up his small command post on the front line to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle. Once the decisive battle was won, the national army would be able to take the opportunity to regain lost territory. Moreover, many national army troops had been forced to retreat into the mountains in previous battles. Once the Japanese army began to flee in panic, these troops would be able to delay the enemy's actions.

Coupled with the still strong Pujiang River, it is very likely that the Japanese invaders will be attacked at the gate.

but……

But if the decisive battle goes smoothly, there will be no such humorous nickname as Transport Captain!

At five o'clock in the afternoon on June 6, after several days of careful consideration, the chief chamberlain made a decision:
The gains and losses of Quzhou are no longer related to the success or failure of today's battle!
At this time, Myanmar suffered a major defeat. The Japanese army had already marched from Myanmar to Yunnan. The situation in Yunnan was more dangerous than Zhejiang. If the decisive battle was lost, it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, he ordered to stop the upcoming decisive battle plan. When the order came, the entire Third War Zone was in an uproar.

Now it’s the final moment, the pants have been taken off, and the only thing left to do is to move forward. In the end, we have to give up the plan for the decisive battle?

The Third War Zone immediately called the Admiralty Office and requested to continue with the decisive battle plan - at this time all the troops were already in place, and if they abandoned the decisive battle plan and evacuated to the mountains on both sides of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road, it would cause irreparable losses.

But the response to the Third War Zone was a secret telegram, in which the Chief Aide-de-Camp ordered:

The Third War Zone should avoid a decisive battle with the enemy near Quzhou!

Faced with this harshly worded secret message, the Third War Zone had only two options for response:
Either mutiny or obey.

Refusal would mean mutiny, which is naturally impossible for the Three War Zones, so they can only choose to obey.

At 6 a.m. on June 4, Zhang Anping, who had not slept yet, was still sorting out intelligence from various places. Several elite forces under his command, carrying military radio operators, infiltrated into enemy-occupied areas and monitored the enemy's movements. He had to provide accurate intelligence support to the generals of the Third War Zone, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.

The staff officer suddenly rushed in to report: "Commander, there's an urgent message from the theater headquarters!"

"Give me!"

Zhang Anping was shocked, thinking that there was a loophole in the intelligence, so he snatched the telegram and read it quickly.

Then, he was completely stunned.

Give up the decisive battle?

Evacuate?

Zhang Anping nearly vomited blood. More than one hundred thousand troops near Quzhou were all in place, and an army in Quzhou city was also ready to launch a counterattack in a few hours. At this critical juncture, was it all over?
It's like two people are about to fight. Now they are facing each other and ready to attack. Just when they are about to attack, the other party takes over and runs away. One person can easily run away, but what about a group of people? What about an army of hundreds of thousands?

"Send a telegram to the headquarters immediately and tell them that the Japanese army is ready to attack the entire county. Once our army gives up the attack in five hours, the Japanese army will take advantage of the situation to pursue us. We may not be able to escape successfully. Even if we escape, the 86th Army in Quzhou City will be trapped without reinforcements! Please let the headquarters know!"

Fifteen minutes later, the headquarters called back with just one sentence:

Execute the command!

Zhang Anping looked at the order for a long time without saying a word. Finally, he walked into the small room in the command center, kicked a stool to pieces, and then smashed it around with the stool.

This is what happened in the Battle of Shanghai. The Japanese army was originally planning to withdraw and was counting on the League of Nations to mediate. However, due to a piece of paper order, the evacuating troops began to stay in place. The retreat eventually turned into a rout. The Japanese army couldn't believe how they could catch up with and defeat the Nationalist army that had safely crossed the Suzhou River!

The same was true for the Battle of Nanjing. Since the decision was not to fight and the terrain was not suitable for defending, there was no point in fooling the people and soldiers into defending. At the critical moment, the officers ran away, the troops on the front line were confused, and it eventually turned into a major rout - and they didn't even prepare ships!

It’s the same in Quzhou now!

(The dog author even developed high blood pressure while writing!)
Do you understand what military orders are as heavy as mountains?
Zhejiang and Jiangxi are not just a barrier to Chongqing, they are a battlefield. The mountainous terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do you understand?

Without external support, the 86th Army was only ordered to hold on to Quzhou for seven days. Do you think they can hold on to the end? !
But, as a small major general spy, what can Zhang Anping do?
He can do his best to provide intelligence support to the entire army. For this purpose, he can send his elite troops into the battlefield to monitor the enemy's movements.

For this reason, he can stand on the front line just to transmit intelligence more promptly.

But, this is all he can do!
What can he do when faced with the order to evacuate from his superiors?
After controlling his anger, Zhang Anping walked out of the hut and gave an expressionless order:
"Intelligence Command, evacuate."

……

The troops in the Third War Zone who were preparing for the decisive battle in Quzhou began to evacuate before the sun rose, and retreated to the mountains on both sides of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway.

Before the evacuation, the Third War Zone also transferred a division from Quzhou, turning the garrison of Quzhou from one army into two divisions...

Just as the Nationalist army was preparing to evacuate, the Japanese army, in order to interrupt the Nationalist army's initiative in the decisive battle, not only launched an offensive against Quzhou, but also launched a fierce attack on several approaching Nationalist troops.

Fortunately, these troops were close to the mountainous areas on both sides of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road. As they rushed into the mountains, the Japanese had to give up the pursuit. The Japanese were also confused. Aren’t you naked and coming? I was ready, why did you suddenly turn around and run?

Do you dislike me?

The inexplicable victory made the Japanese army proud, and they then launched an attack on Quzhou with confidence.

Having lost the support from the outside, even though the reinforcements were arriving suddenly, the Quzhou defenders were still in a situation where they had run out of ammunition and reinforcements. As a last resort, the Quzhou defenders broke out in the early morning of the 7th.

On June 6, Quzhou fell!

(This situation is similar to Iron Triangle during the Korean War, but our army held on!)
After the fall of Quzhou, there was no longer any solid line of defense on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Road.

The headquarters of the Third War Zone was in Shangrao, which became the missing sentence in "Buddha Yin is very similar to Maitreya, with his head held high and his eyes looking up"...

On June 1942, 6, the Third War Zone Headquarters in Shangrao was occupied by the Japanese army!
However, the airport that Zhang Anping had painstakingly built was occupied by the Japanese army long before the occupation of Shangrao. There were too many supplies stored in the airport and Shangrao, which were originally the rear base. As a result, when Quzhou fell, the 200,000-strong army seemed to have no men left, and they watched helplessly as the Japanese army advanced and occupied Shangrao.

Although the theater command issued an order for emergency transfer before Quzhou fell, most of the Kuomintang officers were only thinking about running and running, and their efficiency was extremely poor. They did not transport much supplies at all. Instead, the special agent team arranged by Zhang Anping had no choice but to start a large-scale explosion two days before the fall of Shangrao.

However, due to the obstruction of officers from various departments, the explosion was successful, but not too much material was destroyed.

Most of these supplies that were reluctant to be destroyed eventually became the property of the Japanese.

On the contrary, the bombing formation and the fighter formation fled on their own three days before the fall of Shangrao, so they did not suffer much loss. However, in order to bomb the stockpiled supplies in Japan, some of them were destroyed, and most of them became Japanese spoils.

……

"Zhang, I don't understand why you fought this battle like this?"

Zoker, who had been following Zhang Anping, had only one feeling about the development of the battle:
Unbelievable!

He could understand the loss of the outer lines, and he could also understand the loss of Jinhua and Lanxi. After all, those were the places that were originally planned to be lost, and the only purpose was to kill the enemy's manpower and consume the enemy's supplies.

Although the goal was not achieved.

But he couldn't understand the loss of Quzhou.

Quzhou is the gate to Shangrao, the only solid gate, and it was even clear that the decisive battle would be fought here - and then, they evacuated, Quzhou was lost, and Shangrao was lost.

Well, the range is not enough now. Unless we develop a bomber with a combat radius of up to 3,000 kilometers, don’t even think about bombing the Japanese mainland.

The significance of bombing the Japanese mainland is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, they actually gave up the decisive battle, which led to the loss of Quzhou and Shangrao, and the loss of support for bombing the Japanese mainland - how do you understand this?

Even though Zhang Anping was not a fickle person, he remained silent in response to Zok's question.

[Just because I thought I had the advantage, I lost miserably? ]

Zhang Anping had an indescribable expression on his face.

Passive avoidance of war!

This is the result of passively avoiding war!

Military orders change three times a day, commanders of various units are corrupt and unjust, soldiers have no fighting spirit, and when the war breaks out, the commanders of the troops run away before the enemy arrives, and some even ignore orders and lead their troops to flee before the enemy arrives - this just happened, on June 6, the Japanese army arrived at Yingtan, and the commander of the 16th Army fled with two divisions without a fight...

Although it was caused by the army commander's cowardice, wasn't it also the evil result of long-term passive avoidance of war?

Everyone is afraid of becoming the 86th Army of Quzhou!!!
"It's okay, it's okay," Zhang Anping said with a forced smile, "The Japanese won't be able to occupy Shangrao for long. Most of our troops are in the mountainous areas on both sides of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line. It's useless for the Japanese to occupy Shangrao. Their supply lines are doomed to be in turmoil."

Zok looked at Zhang Anping in confusion. Is this what I am telling you?
But what can Zhang Anping do?
I can’t carry it, I really can’t carry it!

The National Army...

It’s not that there are no brave warriors in the National Army, but the top leaders want to avoid fighting and resist passively. What can the people below do?
If the upper beam is not straight, can the lower beam be straight?
It can only be crooked!
I really can’t carry it…

……

After the Japanese army opened up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line, they did think about consolidating the current results, but the Japanese troops on the east and west fronts added up to only a few hundred thousand, while on the mountains on both sides of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line, there were hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops eyeing them covetously. The presence of these Nationalist troops doomed Shangrao to fail to hold out for long.

Therefore, after carrying out the Three Alls Campaign in Shangrao, the Japanese army ended the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign on July 7 and began to evacuate in August.

After the Japanese army withdrew, except for Jinhua Lanxi which was controlled by the Japanese army, the strategic confrontation situation basically returned to the pre-war situation.

For this reason, the chief attendant said proudly:
With the heroic fighting of the national army, the Japanese army's strategic attempt to penetrate the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line was repelled. After an arduous and outstanding battle, Quzhou was recovered.

And said:
The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign thwarted the Japanese conspiracy to swallow up Zhejiang and was another strategic victory for the National Army!
Only the Allies whispered:

Forget it, let’s not bomb the Japanese mainland for the time being. If the Japanese launch another Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, we will have to deliver supplies to the Japanese again - it will be like a transport team leader, so boring!

Zhang Anping, who had been in a slump for a while, resurrected at this time.

"Old Zuo, come on, I'll take you to visit the territory of my Loyal Rescue Army. War is not just about the frontal battlefield, but also the battlefield behind enemy lines - I'll show you how my Loyal Rescue Army fights!"

Zhang Anping had no choice but to do this. The American strategy was to attack Europe first and Asia later. The Americans had increased their aid before because they saw the effect of bombing the Japanese mainland and wanted to weaken Japan's war potential through bombing.

But now that we are no longer carrying out bombing, we naturally have to cut support and focus our attention on supporting the European battlefield.

Seeing that Zok was about to leave, Zhang Anping had to "pretend to be dead".

Zhang Anping said angrily:
[Damn it, you useless piece of shit. If you make it difficult for me to get American aid, believe it or not, I will turn into a Ming Wolf right now?] (End of this chapter)
