Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 579 Luck is also important

After repeated confirmation, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro, commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, believed that this was a telegram order sent by Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the Japanese 11th Army. This made Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro, commander of the 3rd Division, suddenly feel that Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the 11th Army, was now confused by the attack of the Chinese government's 9th War Zone troops. It was hard to believe that this order was issued before and after.

However, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusutaro, commander of the Japanese Army's 3rd Division, frowned as he looked at the telegram in his hand. The losses of his own 3rd Division were also quite huge. It was a good idea to ask him to send troops to rescue the 6th Division, but none of the troops in his 3rd Division was still in a relatively full state.

The 68th Regiment suffered the greatest losses. After a few days of attacking Changsha City, the 68th Regiment was basically able to withdraw from all subsequent battle sequences. Now the 68th Regiment has less than a battalion of troops left. If it is sent to rescue the 6th Division, the 68th Regiment will be completely destroyed.

The 18th Regiment? Similarly, the 18th Regiment also suffered heavy losses in Changsha City. Although the 18th Regiment is now better than the 68th Regiment, and currently has about one battalion and one squadron of troops available to participate in the battle, this amount of troops will not play a big role on the battlefield where a large army is gathered.

As for the other two regiments, they also suffered heavy losses in the encirclement of the Chinese army. Besides, if these two regiments were sent to rescue the Sixth Division, what would happen to the Third Division? Should we still have the Third Division?

Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro, commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, was also troubled by the order from Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the Japanese 11th Army. Finally, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro decided to come up with a convincing rescue plan.

The commander of the 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro, ordered the commander of the 18th Regiment, Colonel Ishii Nobuyuki, to lead the 18th Regiment's troops to support the breakout and retreat of the 6th Division's troops. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusataro, told the commander of the regiment, Colonel Ishii Nobuyuki, not to forcefully charge into the encirclement of the heavily armed Chinese army, but to ask Colonel Ishii Nobuyuki to lead his troops to continuously harass and attack the periphery of the Chinese army, as long as they could disrupt the encirclement defense line of the Chinese army.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Toyoshima Fusutaro, commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, also sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Kanda Masatane, commander of the Japanese 6th Division, informing him of his tactical plan and asking him to organize his troops and launch an attack in the direction of the 18th Regiment's harassment, so as to increase the probability of breaking out.

Lieutenant General Kanda Masatane, commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, also knew that the 3rd Division was also under attack by the Chinese government's 9th War Zone troops. All they could do was harass the Chinese army's encirclement from the outside and try to disrupt the encirclement as much as possible.

In this way, the commander of the 6th Division, Lieutenant General Kanda Masatane, also cheered up, organized his troops and launched a breakout operation. For a while, the entire battlefield was in a state of chaos, with flying bullets and falling mortar shells everywhere.

The commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Tomochikame Toshio, and his officers and soldiers have been fighting hard for four days with the Chinese troops who surrounded them. Now there are only more than 400 officers and soldiers of the 13th Regiment who can still hold guns and participate in the battle, and there are more than 100 lightly wounded among them.

However, Colonel Tomochikame Toshio, commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, also received good news. Although the officers and soldiers responsible for opening the breakthrough had not been able to break through the encirclement of the Chinese army, they unexpectedly discovered a small gap in the encirclement of the Chinese army.

This gap is between two hills. It may be that the Chinese army felt that the commanding peaks on both sides were under tight control. If the Japanese troops dared to pass between the two hills, they would be sitting ducks and there would be no way they could get through. Therefore, the Chinese army did not deploy defensive positions here.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with the deployment of the Chinese army. If the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army wanted to rush out from here, it would definitely be discovered by the Chinese officers and soldiers on the positions on the mountains on both sides. However, the current 13th Regiment has only more than 400 people.

Moreover, the heavy weapons had been completely lost, and such a small-scale force could move very quickly. If they could quietly pass through the gap, as long as they did not make much noise, it would be difficult for the Chinese army on the mountains on both sides to detect them.

Colonel Tomonari Toshio, commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, knew that if they tried to break out from this narrow gap, the risk would be very high. Once they were discovered by the Chinese troops on the mountains on both sides while breaking out, the 13th Regiment might be suppressed in the middle by the Chinese troops on both sides and be completely wiped out.

Therefore, the commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Tomochikame Toshio, waited until 11 o'clock in the evening before leading the officers and soldiers who had been prepared long ago. Using the cover of night, the troops quickly and lightly passed through this narrow gap in the defense line.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening in the middle of winter and it was very cold, but the commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Tomochikame Toshi, was so nervous that he was sweating all over. At this time, Colonel Tomochikame Toshishige was leading the remaining four hundred or so officers and soldiers, bending their bodies and moving quickly through the middle of the Chinese army's defense line.

All reflective or noise-making items on the officers and soldiers of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army were removed and left in place. In order to speed up the advance of the troops, the commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Tomochikame, had no choice but to abandon the seriously wounded in the troops and let these seriously wounded stay in the encirclement, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army to receive some treatment.

It has to be said that the gamble made by Colonel Tomonari Toshio, commander of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, was successful. The Chinese troops on the mountains on both sides failed to discover this small-scale Japanese force. After dawn, the attacking force of the Chinese Army rushed into the encirclement and saw that there was no Japanese 13th Regiment. There were only more than 200 seriously wounded Japanese soldiers found in civilian houses.

The commander of the Chinese army did not call for medical soldiers to treat the seriously wounded captured Japanese soldiers. You have to know that the Japanese army has already attacked Myanmar, and the international supply lines of the Chinese government have been completely cut off by the Japanese army. Medicines have become the most scarce thing.

Moreover, the Chinese army also suffered heavy casualties among its officers and soldiers. Of course, these few medicines would be used to treat their own people first. As for the seriously injured Japanese soldiers, they could only rely on their Amaterasu to save them.
