Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Colonel Maori Joe, commander of the 137th Regiment, is extremely anxious now. It seems that his st Battalion has been betrayed by the New nd Army of the Chinese government. He asks the signalman to go back and ask the battalion commander, Major Sato Jinnao, to quickly lead the troops to retreat to Zhongshan City, so that they can be closer to the main force of his regiment and feel more at ease.

At the same time, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Maori Joe, also ordered the Second Battalion, which had already landed and assembled, to rush to Zhongshan City. He himself took the Third Battalion and transported all the supplies ashore before going to Zhongshan City to meet up with them.

After dark, the regiment commander, Colonel Maori Qiao, led the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion to escort the supplies to Zhongshan City. Halfway, the second signalman sent by the captain of the First Battalion, Major Sato Jinnao, told him that the First Battalion had advanced to a place near Shunde City and found a blocking position of the Chinese army in the wild. Judging from the size of the position, the Chinese army should have at least a division of troops defending there.

At the same time, he also learned that Major Sato Jinnao had ordered his troops to defend on the spot and wait for the arrival of the 137th Regiment before launching an attack together.

However, this news also made Colonel Mori Kyo, commander of the 137th Regiment, a little confused. Didn't he ask the previous signalman to inform Major Sato Jinnao to stop advancing and return to Zhongshan City? How come the st Battalion was almost reaching Shunde City?

Also, what is the purpose of the Chinese government's new 22nd Army? Why is it trying to stop our troops in the wild? From the feedback from the previous news, it must be a main division of the new 22nd Army defending there. So was the Chinese army's previous rout in Zhongshan City true? Did they plan to abandon Zhongshan City and concentrate their forces in Shunde to resist the attack of their own troops?

Since the troops of the First Battalion have stopped advancing, there is nothing to rush about now. I will wait until tomorrow to rush to the front and take a look for myself before making a decision. The information now feels a bit confusing and I can't make an accurate judgment.

Let's go back to the time when Major Sato Jinnao led his troops to pursue across the pontoon bridge. The officers and soldiers of the suicide squad and the special service battalion began to move quietly around the pontoon bridge. Deputy Battalion Commander Hao also went back to his old job, wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant and leading more than 20 team members wearing Japanese uniforms. When it was almost dark, they swaggered towards the pontoon bridge.

The appearance of this group of Japanese troops confused the Japanese sentries guarding the pontoon bridge. Hadn't their troops already set out to pursue the Chinese troops? Which unit did this group of soldiers belong to?

"Soldiers, we are the baggage troop out to find a way. Can this pontoon bridge pass the cannon? We need to check it out." Hao Jian spoke of his troops in an unquestionable tone like a Japanese sentry on duty, and said that he would cross the bridge to check the strength of the bridge deck.

"Sir, we are from the 137st Battalion of the th Regiment. This pontoon bridge was left behind by the Chinese army when they fled. We don't know if it can accommodate cannons." The Japanese soldier answered Hao Jian's question very seriously. It turned out that they were from the Quartermaster Regiment. No wonder they looked so unfamiliar to him. But have people from the Quartermaster Regiment landed?

When Hao Jian saw that the Japanese soldier was so understanding, he patted the sentry on the shoulder and said, "Very good, I will send someone to cross the bridge to check it out. You go and call the sentry on the opposite side over. If the bridge deck is strong enough, we will be responsible for guarding this floating bridge, and you can go and meet up with your team."

When the Japanese soldier heard the lieutenant of the supply corps asked him to call the two sentries on the other side of the bridge over, he quickly trotted across the pontoon bridge to notify the two soldiers on guard here to come over and gather together. Being able to reunite with the brigade was a very good thing for them, because the situation here was very bad.

When several sentries gathered together, Hao Jian waved his hand, and several officers and soldiers of the suicide squad took over their sentry posts. The other officers and soldiers of the suicide squad pretended to pass behind these Japanese soldiers to check the pontoon bridge. Then the members of the suicide squad suddenly worked together to cover the mouths of these Japanese soldiers from behind and quickly and silently killed them with daggers.

The weeds on this side of the floating bridge are very lush. The Japanese team's camp is on the shore more than 30 meters downstream of the floating bridge. Now the Japanese soldiers are busy with their own affairs, and the sky is a little dim, so no one can pay attention to the situation here. Even if some Japanese soldiers look over here, they can only see that the sentries on the bridge are still there.

This was also because the fleeing soldiers of the new 210th Division acted too similarly to the previous one, which gave the Japanese army a habitual idea that this was the same as the Chinese army they had encountered before, which basically collapsed at the first blow and all the Chinese troops ran away, so they were very safe in the rear.

What they didn't know was that they were now completely surrounded by officers and soldiers of the New 100th Division, and all the Japanese soldiers in the camp were feeling very uncomfortable. Some had diarrhea and were dehydrated, some were itchy all over and could only scratch themselves with their hands. Many soldiers even scratched their skin, and some had high fevers. Even the squad leader was now unconscious due to the high fever.

In the camp where the First Battalion was stationed, Major Sato Jinnao also began to feel something was wrong with his body. He felt his body was hot and cold, and he had already gone to the toilet six times in such a short period of time. Now Major Sato Jinnao was lying on the grass shivering constantly, and the other officers and soldiers of the First Battalion also had various adverse reactions one by one.

This was caused by Lu Jingxuan's previous poisoning. In order to make the poisoning operation successful, Lu Jingxuan prepared several strong poisons. He also wanted to get a promotion and make a small fortune after the war.

Deputy Battalion Commander Hao led a group of suicide squad members disguised as Japanese soldiers to the camp of the Japanese bridge guard team. They saw that the entire camp was full of Japanese soldiers lying and groaning. Deputy Battalion Commander Hao didn't know whether the poison Lu Jingxuan had made was contagious, so he asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses with cloth towels, and then they took their rifles with bayonets and stabbed the Japanese soldiers on the ground to death one by one. It was easier than killing a pig.

After dealing with this small team of Japanese soldiers guarding the bridge, the suicide squad and special forces battalion officers and soldiers who were ambushed nearby quickly came to the Japanese camp and looted all of their equipment. At the same time, Lu Jingxuan ran to tell everyone that the poison he prepared would only work when it came into contact with water, so everyone could rest assured.

Li Zhengying ordered his men to dig a big pit quickly to bury the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. Deputy Ying Hao took his men to guard the bridgehead and sent scouts and sentries to Zhongshan City. If the Japanese troops in Zhongshan City were to move out, this side could get the news first. From now until the encirclement began, only the Japanese signalmen returning from the front could pass the pontoon bridge smoothly, while the Japanese signalmen coming from Zhongshan City would be killed by the sentries in front.

"Send a telegram to the division headquarters and tell the division commander that our poison has worked and the pontoon bridge has been recaptured as planned. Ask the division commander to send someone to check out the Japanese camp. The large Japanese force over there should have been hit as well." Li Zhengying ordered the signalman who was assigned to the camp.

"Division Commander, Li Zhengying has succeeded and has taken control of the pontoon bridge. He said that the Japanese soldiers have been poisoned. Let us send someone to see if the Japanese soldiers in front have also been poisoned. Haha." Ouyang Heng happily told Zhang Wenwu the news of Li Zhengying's success.

"Okay, it seems that this poison is really powerful. Li Zhengying solved the problem of the Japanese troops on the pontoon bridge without firing a single shot. Now it's our turn to take action. Let the troops in front send out scouts to check out the situation in the Japanese camp. All troops should be ready to attack at any time." Zhang Wenwu gave the order excitedly.

Following Zhang Wenwu's order, the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division in the front and the officers and soldiers of the new 211th Division on the two wings all began to sneak around the camp of the 137st Battalion of the th Regiment. In front of these troops, dozens of officers and soldiers responsible for reconnaissance were rapidly approaching the Japanese camp.

The camp of the First Battalion is now in chaos. There are less than two hundred officers and soldiers who have not shown any signs of poisoning. Led by a team leader, they are taking care of the poisoned officers and soldiers. Due to lack of manpower, the Japanese army has only symbolically deployed more than a dozen sentries to guard the camp, and the gaps between the sentries are quite large.

When the officers and soldiers in charge of reconnaissance in the New 22nd Army saw that there were so few Japanese sentries, they all displayed an active and proactive fighting spirit and basically killed all the sentries around the camp. When the reconnaissance officers and soldiers quietly approached the edge of the Japanese camp and looked into the camp, they saw that the entire Japanese camp was filled with groaning Japanese officers and soldiers. The scene was quite spectacular.

When this news reached the troops lurking behind, Zhang Wenwu directly ordered all the troops to advance quickly. After arriving at the Japanese camp, they could directly launch an attack and eliminate this group of Japanese troops as soon as possible.

Well, now all the attacking forces of the New 22nd Army are no longer advancing cautiously. The officers and soldiers in the army are standing upright, holding their guns and trotting towards the Japanese army camp. If others see this, they would think this is an exercise. No, exercises are more serious than this scene.

In the camp, Captain Fujii Kihara, the only one who could still stand and walk in the 137st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army, was sweating anxiously. Now there were only more than a hundred soldiers in the entire camp who had not fallen down. Even if he wanted to retreat quickly, he couldn't do it now. He had just sent a soldier to the back to find the regiment commander to report the news. Now he could only hope that the regiment commander could quickly bring other troops of the regiment to reinforce.

Of course, if Captain Fujii Kihara knew that the soldier he sent out to report the news had now fallen beside the pontoon, he would not be so hesitant. He would definitely take the remaining soldiers and carry the captain and several squadron leaders and run away.

The attacking force of the New 22nd Army appeared around the camp of the First Battalion of the Japanese Army like people strolling on the street. With a command from the leading officer, the officers and soldiers of the New 22nd Army all rushed into the Japanese camp with rifles with bayonets. As long as the Japanese soldier was still breathing, the officers and soldiers would not hesitate to stab him with bayonets, especially the new recruits, who were terrified of seeing blood under the fierce gaze of the old soldiers.
