Quartermasters can also fight the devils

On the floating bridge, with a loud explosion in the distance, all the Japanese soldiers looked at the direction of the explosion in surprise and were briefly dazed. However, Hao Jian and all the officers and soldiers of the suicide squad became excited after hearing the explosion. This was the signal for the action to begin.

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da"

At one time, the light and heavy machine guns on the garrison positions on both sides of the pontoon bridge fired fiercely at the Japanese artillery. Major Ito Shuichi, commander of the 1st Artillery Battalion, was knocked unconscious by the suicide squad members around Hao Jian as soon as the suicide squad members took action.

The battalion commander, Major Shuichi Ito, was lucky. He did not have to watch his artillery battalion being massacred by the Chinese army. He even fainted before he could react to the explosion.

The suicide squad and special forces battalion officers and soldiers who had been lying in ambush around the pontoon bridge for half a day launched a fierce fire at the unprepared and defenseless Japanese artillery unit, and then all of them rushed towards the Japanese army who were still in a daze with guns in hand.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese artillery unit were so miserable. They were suddenly attacked by "their own people" at close range with light and heavy machine guns, and then were knocked to the ground one by one by bullets shot from all directions. They were mentally devastated. Why did their own people go crazy and start fighting each other?

When the Japanese officers and soldiers who survived by chance saw the Chinese troops rushing up from all sides, they were even more devastated. They only had cannons, what could they use to fight the Chinese troops? Were they asked to wield cannons and shells to fight the Chinese soldiers? We are artillerymen, and the Chinese soldiers have no martial ethics. Let's pull away and try again. We won't have to smash you to death with shells. Where are the infantry squadrons escorting us? Come and save us.

The infantry squadron that had crossed the bridge in advance to explore the way was now in a difficult situation. The infantry squadron led by Captain Hiroki Ishida was also frightened by the huge explosion in front of them. Everyone stood still and stopped moving forward. All of them were evaluating in their hearts what the explosion had just happened.

By standing there, they provided a good shooting target for the officers and soldiers of the New 210th Division who had surrounded them on three sides. Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese army was stunned, the leading officer of the New 210th Division quickly seized the opportunity and loudly ordered everyone to open fire.

The fierce shooting knocked down a large number of Japanese soldiers in the squadron led by Captain Hiroki Ishida. Even Captain Hiroki Ishida was hit by six bullets and died on the spot. The surviving Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, unable to move.

When the commanding officer of the new 210th Division saw that the shooting effect was very good, he quickly ordered his troops to launch a charge. They needed to quickly eliminate this Japanese unit and then surround and attack the remnants of the 137th Regiment in front. This Japanese unit was just an appetizer and the 137th Regiment was their main course.

After the explosion, the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division launched a charge from the second line of defense. It is not quite accurate to say that they charged. It should be said that they quickly ran to the previous position. They needed to see if there were any lucky Japanese soldiers still alive. If so, they could give the new recruits a training ground.

But to the disappointment of the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division, the position they had abandoned before had been bombed beyond recognition. Not to mention living people, not even a mouse could be seen on the position. The ground was littered with the remains of Japanese soldiers, which caused some new recruits to vomit continuously.

"Division Commander, our plan was successful. Haha, the Japanese 137th Regiment now has only one battalion of troops left. This method is really good. We haven't lost many people after fighting for so long, but it's just a bit of a waste of explosives." Ouyang Heng said to Zhang Wenwu with excitement while looking at the victory telegram sent from the front.

When Zhang Wenwu heard that the plan was successful, he felt relieved. He was afraid that the Japanese army would not cooperate with his arrangements. If that happened, he would have no choice but to fight the Japanese army head-on, and the casualties of the troops would be much greater.

"Okay, now we have to thank the people from the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army for helping us with actual combat training. Now the new recruits in the army will be much more combat-capable than before the war. How is Li Zhengying? Any news?" Zhang Wenwu happily lit a cigarette and started smoking. Now he can relax for a while.

Ouyang Heng was just about to say that Li Zhengying hadn't sent any news yet, when he saw the communications staff officer walking over happily with a telegram in his hand and reporting, "Division Commander, Chief of Staff, Captain Li of the Special Service Battalion sent a telegram saying that they have already dealt with the Japanese artillery unit, seized twelve Japanese field guns, and captured Major Ito Shuichi, the commander of the 104st Battalion of the th Field Artillery Regiment."

Ouyang Heng took the telegram and read it, then said with a smile: "Speak of the devil, the devil will appear. Li Zhengying also succeeded. He captured another Japanese major. Great."

"Send a telegram to Li Zhengying, asking him to send people to closely monitor the movements in Zhongshan City. At the same time, escort the cannon and the Japanese major to the division headquarters as soon as possible." Zhang Wenwu ordered the communications staff officer.

In the headquarters of the New 22nd Army in Nanhai City, Commander Huang and Chief of Staff Zhao Dong also received reports on the battle situation on the front line. They are now very relaxed, as this battle is basically led by Zhang Wenwu, and they just need to cooperate and give reminders, and they don't have to worry about anything at all.

"Commander, Wenwu's growth rate is really fast. It seems that actual combat is the best way to train people. Moreover, Wenwu's fighting styles are varied, and they have many wild tactics, which makes it difficult for the Japanese army to defend against them." Chief of Staff Zhao Dong said to Commander Huang with deep feelings.

Commander Huang took a puff of his cigarette, looking calm and composed. He was also pleased. He felt so lucky to have such capable subordinates. Last time, he had boasted to Commander He of the war zone that he would send Commander He a few more captured Japanese senior officers. It seemed that he could make Commander He happy again this time.

Commander He was happy. No matter where the new 22nd Army fought in the future, the replenishment of the troops would be guaranteed. Speed ​​would definitely be the top priority. Commander He would never treat his new 22nd Army unfairly.

"Well, it's time for us to send a telegram to Commander He, and by the way, send the captured Japanese battalion commander to Commander He. The Fourth War Zone is difficult." Commander Huang gave the order with a bit of complacency.

Inside the headquarters of the Fourth War Zone, Commander He is now in a difficult situation, just as Commander Huang said.

The attack of the 151th Division of the Japanese Army was extremely fierce. The 151st Division had completely collapsed. They could not even hold out in Huiyang for half a day before it was occupied by the troops of the th Division of the Japanese Army. There are only more than people left in the st Division now. The war zone has ordered them to retreat to southern Hunan. This unit can no longer play any role here.

In order to stop the rapid advance of the Japanese army, the war zone also transferred the 153rd Division to Boluo to prepare to block the advance of the Japanese army, hoping to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to advance quickly towards Yangcheng, but everyone knew that it would be difficult to accomplish this task relying solely on the 153rd Division.

"Commander He, the New 137nd Army has sent a victory report. The 104nd Battalion of the 104th Regiment of the Japanese Army was completely wiped out by the New 137nd Army. At the same time, they also wiped out the st Battalion of the th Field Artillery Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese Army and captured the battalion commander, Major Ito Shuichi. Now the New nd Army has surrounded the remaining troops of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army between Shunde and Zhongshan." The director of the communications room of the theater command walked happily to Commander He who was looking at the map and said loudly.

When Commander He heard that the New 22nd Army had won another victory, he hurriedly took the telegram and read it. He was very glad that he had asked the New 22nd Army to go to the Fourth War Zone. He was also pleased with his firm support for the New 22nd Army's combat plan. They did not disappoint his expectations.

The words of the communications room director made everyone in the headquarters hall very happy. They were all personnel brought by Commander He and belonged to the government's direct line. Naturally, they were closer to the New 22nd Army, which also belonged to the government's direct line. Comparing the battle record with the 12th Army, everyone believed that the troops in their own system were more reliable.

Take the 12th Army for example. It often retreated without authorization during a battle, or pretended to obey orders but actually disobeyed them with all kinds of reasons. There was absolutely no spirit of fighting to the death, not to mention morale.

"Commander He, I think you should hold another press conference. We have captured another Japanese major. This will also make those who say we always fail shut up." Senior Counselor Wang happily suggested to Commander He. He was very happy now. He had been pissed off by the troops of the 12th Army for the past two days. Fortunately, the new 22nd Army was powerful, which made him happy. Now he could give the 12th Army, which did not obey his command, a good lesson.

When Commander He heard Wang Gaocan's suggestion, he had an idea. Yes, this kind of victory must be widely publicized to let everyone know that the Fourth War Zone also won a victory, and that the victory was won by the government's direct troops. This would make many people shut up. At the same time, it would also highlight the disadvantageous combat performance of the 12th Army. Then, the responsibility for the loss of Yangcheng could be clearly attributed to the 12th Army.

"Arrange a press conference and have Commander Huang escort the captured Japanese major to the headquarters. At the same time, tell Commander Huang that I am waiting for his good news at the headquarters." Commander He announced his orders to everyone in a good mood. At the same time, he had greater expectations for the subsequent planned operations of the new 22nd Army.

Major General Goto Juro, commander of the 104nd Brigade of the 132th Division of the Japanese Army, and Colonel Kawakami Mamoru, chief of staff, are now in a panic. They have just received an urgent telegram from Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki, chief of staff of the 137th Regiment. In the telegram, Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki gave a detailed and truthful report on the current situation and experience of the troops, and informed the brigade commander that the commander of their 137th Regiment, Colonel Mori Joe, had vomited blood and was unconscious. He asked the brigade commander to send reinforcements as soon as possible to rescue the remaining officers and soldiers of the 137th Regiment. He did not even use the standard term "tactical guidance", which shows how bad the situation of the 137th Regiment is now.

"Kawakami-kun, how is the landing situation now? How many troops do we have on the shore that can be used for reinforcement?" The brigade commander, Major General Goto Juro, was also anxious now. The 137th Regiment was fine before, how come the entire regiment was gone in less than a day? Why did the Chinese government's new nd Army have so many shady tricks?
