Quartermasters can also fight the devils

The troops of the New 210th Division and the officers and soldiers of the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army were already in a tangle. Although the Japanese Army's advance was fierce, they could not withstand the large number of people deployed by the New 210th Division. After the 137th Regiment advanced 210 meters, it was pinned down by the troops of the New th Division.

Major Takuma Ito, commander of the 137rd Battalion of the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army, is now extremely anxious. He knows that if he does not quickly break through this section of the Chinese Army's defense line, the th Regiment will definitely be destroyed. After hearing the noise here, the Chinese Army will surely rush over.

Now there is only one squadron of soldiers in the regiment headquarters providing cover and rearguard action. Facing the charge of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers, the officers and soldiers of that squadron cannot even create a wave.

At this time, something happened that made Major Takuma Ito feel desperate. Gunshots were heard from the direction of the regiment headquarters behind them, which meant that the Chinese army was about to arrive here to join the battlefield. What you feared would come true. How could the Chinese army be so fast?

Major Takuma Ito and all the officers and soldiers were fighting desperately with the officers and soldiers of the New 210th Division, but as more and more Japanese soldiers fell, Major Takuma Ito had to despairingly admit that this breakout had failed. Looking at the Chinese troops that were still rushing to join the battlefield in the front, Major Takuma Ito asked someone to notify the chief of staff of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki, that he could not complete the task of opening a breakthrough, as the officers and soldiers were almost all dead, and he did not have enough strength to attack again.

The regiment headquarters and a squadron of officers and soldiers led by the regiment chief of staff Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki are trying hard to block the Chinese army coming from behind. He looks anxiously at the direction of attack led by Major Ito Takuma, commander of the third battalion, hoping that Major Ito Takuma can give him good news.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Captain Ito asked me to come and inform you that the assault ahead has failed. There are too many Chinese troops and we can't get out." A soldier covered in blood ran to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki, and said in a crying voice.

After hearing this bad news, the expectations in the heart of Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Saki Hiramiya disappeared without a trace. He knew that Major Takuma Ito and the officers and soldiers had done their best. Now he needed to consider what to do with the commander of the regiment, Colonel Mori Joe. He couldn't just kill his own commander with his own hands.

While the Chief of Staff of the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant Colonel Saki Hiramiya, was hesitating, the officers and soldiers of the suicide squad of the new 100th Division had already broken through the Japanese army's blocking line. For a while, soldiers of both sides were fighting everywhere. All the people in the 137th Regiment were also engaged in a melee with the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division who rushed over.

Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki took a look at the regiment commander Colonel Mori Takashi who was lying on the stretcher like a deathly pale. He pulled out his Nambu pistol and tremblingly pulled the trigger repeatedly at the regiment commander Colonel Mori Takashi.

After helping the regiment commander, Colonel Mori Joe, the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki, said loudly to the signalman: "Send a death telegram to the brigade commander, and then burn the code book and the radio."

After Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Saki Hiramiya finished explaining everything, he took out a package beside him, which contained the flag of the 137th Regiment. He lit the flag without hesitation, as he wanted to watch the flag burn to ashes in front of him.

A minute later, Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Hiramiya Saki also shot himself in the head with his Nambu pistol, completely freeing himself.

When Major General Goto Juro, commander of the 132nd Brigade, received the death telegram from the 137th Regiment, he looked in the direction of the 137th Regiment in the dark with a look of despair. The chief of staff, Colonel Kawakami Mamoru, also had a look of grief and indignation on his face. The two men stood on the bridge of the warship for a long time without saying a word.

"Mr. Kawakami, report the news of the 137th Regiment's death to the division commander and the 161st Army Headquarters. Tell the 161st Regiment to speed up its landing. Order the 161st Regiment Commander Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida and Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Madoka Shimizu. They must take their troops to Zhongshan City before sunrise tomorrow. Tell the 137st and 132nd Regiments of the th Division to prepare for landing. After the st Regiment has landed, they also need to go ashore as soon as possible. We must avenge the th Regiment." Major General Juro Goto, commander of the nd Brigade, ordered with gritted teeth.

Inside the headquarters of the 137st Japanese Army, everyone's faces were grim. The th Regiment was gone, and a fully equipped and staffed infantry regiment was eaten by the new nd Army of the Chinese government without leaving even a bone. This was the biggest defeat of the st Army since the Battle of Yangcheng.

"Gentlemen, what you need now is not sadness. You need to burn your anger and formulate a battle plan to completely destroy the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government. Only by destroying the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government can we wash away the shame of the 21st Army of the Empire of Japan." Lieutenant General Kanro Furujo, commander of the 21st Army, shouted to encourage everyone.

Lieutenant General Furusho Kanro now deeply understands the pain that Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji, the former commander of the 11th Army, had suffered. When he learned that the 11th Army's troops had been beaten so badly by the Chinese government, he looked down on Okamura Yasuji and the 11th Army in his heart. Now that he has experienced it personally, he has begun to admire Okamura Yasuji a little.

His own 21st Army, which had only a regiment, was destroyed by the Chinese government's new 22nd Army. At that time, the 11th Army lost two division commanders, a brigade commander and a large number of officers and soldiers. How much pressure must Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji have been under at that time?

Lieutenant General Gu Zhuangkanlang had to admit in his heart that the new 22nd Army of the Chinese government was indeed difficult to deal with. Its combat methods were varied and he had to concentrate his troops to try to eliminate it in one go. Otherwise, he didn't know how much trouble this army would bring him.

The breakout battle of the Japanese 137th Regiment ended with the complete annihilation of the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the New nd Army are now cleaning up the battlefield. Although they were prepared for this battle, it happened very suddenly.

"Division Commander, the battle is over. We have completely wiped out the 137th Regiment of the Japanese Army. Now the Japanese troops behind will definitely wait until the landing troops concentrate their forces before launching the attack. The combat plans and goals we formulated before the war have basically been achieved." Ouyang Heng looked at the telegram sent back from the front line, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

After hearing the news that the battle was over, Zhang Wenwu felt relieved. This time, the Japanese army had fought a big battle with the New 22nd Army. In fact, the troops of both sides had not reached their respective predetermined attack positions. Fortunately, the Japanese army did not have many troops, and it was a night battle, so this battle still gave the New 22nd Army a great advantage.

"Well, now the Japanese army doesn't dare to advance alone anymore, and the supplies in Yangcheng should be able to be transported smoothly." Zhang Wenwu just wanted the speed of transporting supplies in Yangcheng to be faster so that the New 22nd Army could retreat earlier. After all, the entire Fourth War Zone had too few troops deployed in Yangcheng. If the New 22nd Army was entangled by the Japanese army, it would be completely unrealistic to expect the 12th Army to rescue it.

In the Fourth War Zone Headquarters, Commander He had not rested at all. He and all the staff members were waiting in the headquarters hall for the battle report from the new 22nd Army.

"Commander, the new 22nd Army sent a telegram, great victory, great victory." The director of the communications room walked quickly into the operations hall, waving the telegram in his hand and shouting loudly.

His shout attracted all the officers who were anxiously waiting in the hall. A rare smile appeared on everyone's face. This was also the combat achievement of their Fourth War Zone. Everyone present was an eyewitness and participant.

"Commander He, the new 137nd Army fought this battle beautifully. The commander and chief of staff of the th Regiment were killed, and the commander of the rd Battalion was also killed. Haha, it feels so good, so good." Senior Counselor Wang was leaning over beside Commander He to read the contents of the telegram in Commander He's hand, with a smile on his face the whole time.

"Well, Commander Huang did not break his promise. This has indeed given the war zone a very satisfactory result. Such a capable fighting force must be rewarded handsomely." Commander He was also very happy as he looked at the telegram in his hand. He knew that after the Battle of Yangcheng, his prestige in the Chinese military would be greatly enhanced. This was something he had not expected.

As Commander He finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire headquarters suddenly became relaxed and lively, and this telegram was circulated among everyone.

"Commander He, we have to tell the highest level of the government about this great victory. At the same time, we should also ask the Yangcheng government to speed up the transportation of materials. The Japanese army is probably adjusting and gathering its forces to prepare for revenge." Senior Counsellor Wang was also happy and reminded his Commander He that things should be done as soon as possible. After all the materials were transported out, the Battle of Yangcheng would be a great success.

When the sun rose the next morning, the two battalions of officers and soldiers of the 132st Regiment of the 161nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had already landed, marched into Zhongshan City in a mighty manner under the leadership of the regiment commander Colonel Yoshiaki Ishida and chief of staff Lieutenant Colonel Madoka Shimizu. However, the 161st Regiment did not continue to attack, but began to build defensive positions around Zhongshan City, assuming a defensive posture.

This move of the Japanese army was quickly reported to the headquarters of the new 100th Division by the reconnaissance personnel of the new nd Army. Everyone knew that the Japanese army was waiting for more troops to land before advancing. However, this was also what the new nd Army wanted to see. Their purpose was to delay time.

The Japanese 153th Division, which was responsible for the attack in the direction of Daya Bay, suddenly changed its nature today. The previous fierce and fierce attack was no longer continued. The Japanese army did not even organize a decent offensive. This surprised the rd Division guarding Boluo, but also made them happy for their luck.
