Quartermasters can also fight the devils

"Mr. Yasumi, Major Fujii Kyuichi's idea is good. We can promote it in other troops. It will play a very good role in the future battles with the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government." The commander of the regiment, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, said happily to the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kinsaburo Yasumi.

The commander of the 2nd Battalion, Major Kyuichi Fujii, did not expect that his behavior would be appreciated by the commander of the regiment and the chief of staff. He now had only one thought: the troops of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government on the opposite position, please open fire quickly, we can't move forward anymore, we don't want to really fight with you.

When the Japanese Second Battalion sent a squad of soldiers from the front attack force to within a distance of 211 meters, the officers and soldiers of the new th Division finally started shooting happily. They had been waiting for a long time. The soldier named Erleng who had raised the question before was now full of admiration for his battalion commander. The Japanese army really came over after worshiping the gods as the battalion commander had said before.

The major battalion commander is now also refreshed. He feels that the Japanese army still gives him face. Now his reputation as a knowledgeable and talented person is preserved. His prestige among the soldiers will rise sharply in the future.

The firing from the new 211th Division's position made Major Fujii Kyuichi very happy. Now, all that was left was to waste time acting with the Chinese army.

The attack of the Second Battalion was just beginning to take shape. Looking from behind, the shooting between the attacking troops in front and the Chinese army was extremely fierce. Judging from the intensity of the shooting, both sides would definitely suffer heavy casualties in this battle. This made the regiment commander, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kinsaburo Yasumi, who were watching the battle from behind, very excited. It also made the battalion commanders behind them shudder with fear. They felt that the commander of the Second Battalion, Major Kyuichi Fujii, was risking his life.

The captain of the second battalion, Major Kyuichi Fujii, looked at the time. Thirty minutes had passed since the attack, and the scene was almost over. So, Major Kyuichi Fujii ordered the attacking troops in front to withdraw quickly. After attacking and shooting for such a long time, the officers and soldiers needed to replenish their physical strength.

When the attacking force of the Japanese Second Battalion withdrew, the officers and soldiers of the New 211th Division stopped shooting. The Japanese attack this time made them feel that the defensive operation was too easy. During the whole process, only more than 211 soldiers of the New th Division received minor injuries, which could be said to be a negligible loss.

After his Second Battalion withdrew, Major Fujii Kyuichi immediately counted the losses of the troops. In this attack, his Second Battalion suffered only 15 deaths and 20 injuries. He felt that this loss was still very good. After all, the soldiers who died were all within 200 meters of the Chinese army's position.

Major Fujii Kyuichi is now waiting for the order from the regiment commander. If the regiment commander sees the half-hearted offensive posture of his troops, he will definitely withdraw his Second Battalion. After all, he himself feels ashamed watching the attack of the Second Battalion, let alone the regiment commander who has requirements for the attack.

"Captain Fujii Kyuichi, the regiment commander and the chief of staff are very satisfied with your battalion's last attack. The regiment commander asks you to organize the troops to rest as soon as possible. In thirty minutes, the artillery will provide offensive artillery support again. Let your second battalion continue to attack the Chinese army's positions." A communications soldier from the regiment headquarters ran breathlessly to Major Fujii Kyuichi with a rifle on his back, saluted and reported.

Major Kyuichi Fujii was leisurely smoking a cigarette with several officers in the army. They all felt that with their behavior, the regiment commander, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, would be very angry and would replace them. However, when the signalman told the latest order of the regiment commander, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, the battalion commander, Major Kyuichi Fujii and several officers were all stunned on the spot for a moment, and even forgot to take a few puffs of their cigarettes.

Major Fujii Kyuichi opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say something to the signalman, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound. He felt that this was simply too outrageous. He had already messed up the attack, but the commander of the regiment actually sent someone to praise him and let his brigade continue to be responsible for the attack. Could it be that the commander of the regiment was also planning to slack off and not intend to complete the combat mission set before the war? Impossible, there must be something wrong here.

"Captain, what does the regiment commander mean? Did we hear it wrong?" After the regiment headquarters' communications soldier left, Captain Katsumura Yota, the squadron leader of the third squadron of the second battalion, asked the battalion commander, Major Fujii Kyuichi, a little uncertainly. He really couldn't understand why this situation had occurred.

Major Kyuichi Fujii was also confused. The development of this matter seemed to be quite different from what he had expected. He didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky. Major Kyuichi Fujii suddenly felt that this world was a little too crazy.

"Gentlemen, it seems that our attack just now has satisfied the commander very much. For the next attack, we should still follow the previous method. Since the commander has praised our tactics, he must have his own considerations. Let's carry out this tactic to the end. Everyone go and organize the troops. This time, according to the rotation rules formulated before, the third squadron will attack at the front. I still have the same request. I hope that when we retreat later, I can still smoke and chat with you here." Major Fujii Kyuichi felt that since the commander thought there was no problem with his attack, he should carry out this tactic to the end. When the commander got tired of acting, he would naturally withdraw his second battalion.

Thirty minutes later, the Japanese artillery began to bombard as usual, and then, just like a replica of the previous one, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Second Battalion slowly launched an attack on the defensive positions of the new 211th Division, while the officers and soldiers of the 211th Division were bored and waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army on the positions.

Since the major battalion commander had given the correct explanation before, the soldiers on the entire 211th Division's position now described the Japanese army's behavior as a worship ceremony before the attack. If the commander of the nd Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, knew that the attack of his troops was described by the Chinese army as a worship ceremony, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

Just like the previous attack, the Japanese attacking force stopped moving when it advanced to about 230 meters. They sent a small number of soldiers into the 200-meter distance to attract the Chinese troops on the opposite position to open fire. Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with gunfire.

However, this time the front-line commander of the new 211th Division only allowed half of the soldiers to conduct shooting. One reason was to save ammunition, and the other was that there was no need for all of them to go. The Japanese army was just hanging around meters away and not attacking forward, so there was no pressure on their side to defend. He let the troops rotate to ensure that everyone's physical strength was well guaranteed. He felt that the Japanese army wanted to use fatigue tactics to attack, and he couldn't be fooled by the Japanese.

Thirty minutes later, Major Kyuichi Fujii ordered the attacking troops to retreat on time. He didn't believe that the regiment commander could tolerate the performance of his Second Battalion. If the regiment commander still didn't withdraw his troops, he would continue to act like this until the regiment commander replaced his Second Battalion.

Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, the regiment commander who was watching the battle from behind, put down his binoculars. He was still satisfied with the second attack of the Second Battalion. Under such fierce shooting, the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government was obviously at a disadvantage. It can be seen from the density of gunfire on the Chinese army's position just now that they have suffered some losses.

"Mr. Yasumi, let all the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion withdraw. They are very tired after attacking twice. Let the Third Battalion take over their attack. After lunch, start the attack. Using the tactics of the Second Battalion, they will definitely be able to occupy the Chinese army's positions." The regiment commander, Colonel Hidenosuke Yamada, ordered the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kinsaburo Yasumi.

When the captain of the Second Battalion, Major Kyuichi Fujii, received the order from the regiment commander to retreat and let the Third Battalion take over their attack, he was so excited that he could not express it in words. Major Kyuichi Fujii felt that his efforts for so long were not in vain, and that God would not let down those who work hard, and he had finally achieved his goal.

When the captain of the 2nd battalion, Major Kyuichi Fujii, led his troops happily back to the camp to prepare for lunch, the captain of the 3rd battalion, Major Sosuke Kitahara, had been waiting for him in the camp for a while.

When Major Sosuke Kitahara saw the happy look on Major Kyuichi Fujii's face, he felt particularly upset. His Third Battalion was going to take over the Second Battalion to attack at noon. In the past two days, he and the regiment commander had been observing the attack of the troops from behind. Objectively speaking, he admired the combat effectiveness of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese Government very much, and he did not think that his Third Battalion could complete the task assigned to him by the regiment commander.

"Kitahara-kun, are you waiting for me here?" When Major Fujii Kyuichi saw Major Kitahara Sosuke, he guessed in his heart that the other party was probably waiting for him here.

"Yes, Fujii-kun, my battalion will launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese army opposite after noon. I came here to ask Fujii-kun for some guidance on the subsequent attack of the Third Battalion." Major Sosuke Kitahara said with a respectful bow.

Major Fujii Kyuichi blinked and said to Major Kitahara Sosuke, "Kitahara-kun, you are too polite. My Second Battalion failed to complete the commander's request to occupy the Chinese army's position, but I think your Third Battalion will be able to occupy the opposite Chinese army's position as long as it is steady and cautious. However, you must pay attention to protecting the safety of the officers."
