Quartermasters can also fight the devils

At this time, Commander Cai of the new 210th Division was holding a telescope and watching with several main officers in the army the beach blocking position in the distance that was being repeatedly ravaged by Japanese naval guns.

"Tsk tsk, did you see that just now? That shot was definitely fired by the main gun of a Japanese ship with a caliber of more than 200. The explosion effect was really spectacular." Commander Cai held up a telescope and commented on the Japanese naval guns with a relaxed look on his face.

"Oh, this beachhead position was dug in vain. It was bombed so badly." Several commanders of the troops around Commander Cai also joked with a smile.

According to Zhang Wenwu's new battle plan, there is no one on the beachhead now. Before the battle, Division Commander Cai felt that this was a bit disrespectful to the Japanese army, so he asked the troops to get some scarecrows from nearby, and then put some tattered military uniforms on them and stand them on the position for the Japanese naval guns to have fun with.

"Okay, I think the Japanese landing troops are about to take action. We should prepare the blocking forces for the Japanese. Don't delay the commander's important matters. If anyone dares to delay, I will kill him. Do you understand?" Commander Cai also saw that the frequency of Japanese naval guns had dropped a lot, so he put down his binoculars and gave serious instructions to several troop commanders around him. He knew that if the plan was implemented well, it would save a lot of trouble.

Several commanders of the troops also said that the troops had been prepared for a long time. They patted their chests and said that if they couldn't even complete such an easy task, there was no need for Commander Cai to shoot them. To save a bullet, they would hold the explosives and take a few Japanese soldiers with them to die together. This would at least be worthy of the country.

The first wave of landing troops of the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army did not encounter any resistance from the Chinese troops. They successfully occupied the empty beachhead. After waiting for the arrival of the second wave of landing troops of the 137th Regiment, they cautiously advanced inland to search and attack under the order of Major Sato Jinnao, commander of the st Battalion.

The Japanese landing ships quickly delivered the second wave of landing troops of the 137th Regiment to the occupied landing site. Colonel Mori Joe, commander of the 137th Regiment, was also in the second wave of landing troops.

"Your Excellency the Commander, the soldiers of the first battalion who have completed landing are now attacking inland. They have not been attacked by the Chinese army yet." A staff officer of the regiment quickly reported the news sent from the front to the commander of the regiment, Colonel Maori Joe.

"Well, it seems that the guard troops of the new 137nd Army of the Chinese government are preparing to defend against our attack in Zhongshan City. Tell the troops that have already landed to assemble as soon as possible according to the plan made before the war, and then keep up with the speed of the First Battalion and attack Zhongshan City. In addition, send a telegram to report this news to His Excellency the brigade commander." Colonel Maori Joe, commander of the th Regiment, happily asked the staff to quickly convey his orders.

On the warship where Lieutenant General Kan'iro Furusho, commander of the 132st Army of the Japanese Army, was stationed, the staff of the headquarters respectfully handed Lieutenant General Kan'iro Furusho the telegram that the nd Brigade had successfully landed.

Lieutenant General Gu Zhuangkanlang looked at the contents of the telegram. He felt that the new 22nd Army of the Chinese government was indeed very experienced in combat. They did not deploy a single soldier on the beachhead. Obviously, they knew that guarding the beachhead under the absolute advantage of our naval guns would only increase the casualties of the troops. Unlike the Chinese troops in Daya Bay, which were so naive, this unit was worthy of being the trump card of the Chinese government.

It seems that it is just as the commander on the front line guessed, the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government is preparing to provide defensive resistance in Zhongshan City. However, Zhongshan City is not like Hongcheng. It is not as big as Hongcheng, and there is simply not much space for the New 22nd Army to use any strange tactics.

In the headquarters of the new 22nd Army, the news that the Japanese army had begun to land and attack was conveyed here at the first time. Commander Huang and Chief of Staff Zhao Dong were also always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese landing troops.

"Commander, according to the information sent back by the new 210th Division, the vanguard of the Japanese landing army has begun to search and advance in the direction of Zhongshan City. The Japanese army's actions are very cautious. This vanguard of the Japanese army has a strength of about one battalion. It seems that the first batch of Japanese landing troops should be the size of a regiment. Now the follow-up troops of the Japanese army are still landing one after another." Chief of Staff Zhao Dong reported the latest news one by one.

General Huang looked at the map, nodded and said, "Wenwu's guess is correct. The Japanese vanguard is indeed the size of a battalion. Now the follow-up troops of this Japanese regiment have not yet landed completely, and they have to wait for the supporting materials to be transported ashore before they can take action. As long as we increase the distance between this vanguard and the follow-up troops of the Japanese army, we will have a chance to defeat it."

"But now the Japanese vanguard is still acting very cautiously. I guess they are intimidated by the reputation of our army. Haha." Chief of Staff Zhao Dong stated with a bit of pride the reason why the Japanese army is currently acting cautiously. Look at how cautious the Japanese army is now facing his own troops. The Japanese army's cautious attitude towards the New 22nd Army is unique among Chinese troops.

"Well, tell the new 210th Division that the success of this operation depends on whether they can perform well. Have the troops of the new 100th Division been sent out?" Commander Huang could not hide the pride on his face.

"Wenwu sent out the troops early this morning. The troops had already arrived at the designated location before the Japanese landed." Chief of Staff Zhao Dong also explained the situation.

The harassment force sent out by Zhang Wenwu was composed of the suicide squad officers and soldiers led by Li Zhengying and three companies of special forces battalion officers and soldiers. Now Li Zhengying was leading these officers and soldiers to ambush on both sides of the road where the Japanese army was advancing outside Zhongshan City. Their mission was to provoke the Japanese army's anger.

Staff Officer Hao's full name is Hao Jian. Now he is the captain, deputy battalion commander of the special forces battalion and deputy captain of the suicide squad. He is very satisfied with being assigned to the special forces battalion, which makes his big heart that loves adventure and excitement very happy.

"Battalion Commander, the vanguard of the Japanese army is coming soon. These Japanese soldiers are too slow. It takes them so long to walk such a short distance." Hao Jian walked to Li Zhengying who was sitting in the wild by the roadside and reported in a low voice the current status of the Japanese army's actions.

Li Zhengying looked at the end of the road and saw that the Japanese troops had not yet appeared, so he sighed and said helplessly: "Ah, it can be said that the Japanese army is getting weaker and weaker. Moreover, this time the division commander assigned us a task to tease the Japanese army. It's too boring. By the way, Deputy Haoying, have you put away all the things you prepared?"

When Hao Jian heard Li Zhengying's question, he immediately said excitedly: "It's all ready, Battalion Commander. This time we will definitely drive the Japanese commander crazy. Haha, this is a gift that so many of us have been holding back for so long."

After hearing Hao Jian's reply, Li Zhengying also followed Hao Jian and grinned. At the same time, he looked at the end of the road with anticipation, thinking that the Japanese army should come quickly, as he couldn't wait any longer.

Major Sato Jinnao, commander of the 137st Battalion of the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army, is now leading his troops to search and advance cautiously in the direction of Zhongshan City. His st Battalion, as the first landing force of the th Regiment, needs to be responsible for clearing all resistance from Chinese troops on the way forward and launching a tentative attack on Zhongshan City at the same time.

Looking at the troops around him who were searching and advancing along the road, Major Sato Jinnao was a little helpless. Before the troops set out to land, the regiment commander, Colonel Maori Joe, specifically told him that his troops must be careful in attacking after landing. The New 22nd Army of the Chinese government was guarding the west bank of the Pearl River. This unit was very powerful and had strange tactics. But at the same time, he was asked to reach Zhongshan City as quickly as possible, which made Major Sato Jinnao feel that this was a contradictory order.

Major Jinnao Sato led his troops to search carefully along the road, but the Chinese defenders did not put up any resistance along the way, and not even a blocking position was seen. Major Jinnao Sato believed that this was a wise move by the Chinese army.

Major Sato Jinnao felt that if the Chinese army blocked the attack of his troops in the wilderness, it would be of no use. From his previous combat experience with the Chinese army, when the Chinese army relied on field fortifications to defend in the wilderness, it had never successfully stopped the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army. The Chinese army could only rely on the houses and streets in the city to fight street battles with the Imperial Japanese Army, so that they could hold out longer.

"Sir Captain, the troops of the first squadron ahead found some things on the road. They should have been made by the Chinese army. Captain Kobayashi asked me to come back and report to you." A soldier with a rifle on his back ran quickly to Major Sato Jinnao who was in deep thought and reported.

"What? What did the Chinese army leave behind?" Major Sato Jinnao was stunned for a moment after listening to the soldier's vague report. What did the Chinese government's new 22nd Army leave behind? Bombs? Landmines?

"Um, Your Excellency the Captain, Lieutenant Kobayashi wants you to go and take a look." The soldier continued hesitantly, but did not answer the captain's question.

Major Sato Jinnao was also very curious, so he followed the soldier's lead and walked forward quickly with the soldiers behind him.

Two minutes later, Major Sato Jinzhi looked at the welcome props prepared for him by the New 22nd Army, his face flushed with anger: "Baga, damn Chinese, damn the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government, they are not worthy of being a soldier, they are not like a samurai at all."

The reason why Major Sato Jinnao was so angry was the gifts prepared for him by the suicide squad and the special service battalion officers and soldiers. On the road in front of Major Sato Jinnao, the suicide squad and the special service battalion officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division erected several long wooden signs in the middle of the road. On them were Japanese words written by Deputy Yingying Hao himself. He did this to make it easier for Japanese officers and soldiers to understand what was written on the wooden signs.

There were two wooden signs in the front, on which were inscribed "The Tomb of the 101th Division of the Japanese Grandsons" and "The Tomb of the 104th Division of the Japanese Grandsons". Following them were two more wooden signs that read "The Tomb of the st Division of the Japanese Grandsons" and "The Tomb of the th Division of the Japanese Grandsons". What was even more infuriating was that the last wooden sign read "The Tomb of the th Division of the Japanese Grandsons".
