Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After receiving the order from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, the brigade commander Major General Kojune Kunio was also very cautious. After aerial reconnaissance and a series of ground reconnaissance, the brigade commander Major General Kojune Kunio discovered that in front of his temporary brigade, the defense forces of the Third War Zone of the Chinese government actually had five divisions of troops.

The temporarily formed brigade led by Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong has a total strength of only 5,000 soldiers, and the Chinese troops are already on high alert and have made sufficient defensive preparations. If his brigade wants to forcibly attack the Chinese army's defensive positions, it will basically have no chance of winning.

After analyzing the current reconnaissance situation, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, decided to avoid the road from Jinyun to Lishui which was defended by the Chinese army, and instead enter the southern mountains near Wuyi and attack Lishui from a small road.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, divided his brigade into two routes in Wuyi, preparing to enter the mountainous area from Kuzhu and Tongqin City with the left and right columns respectively, and attack Wenzhou from the south along the small road.

After repelling the minor resistance of two local security regiments along the way, the right column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade successfully occupied Lishui City.

The actions of the left column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade were much more "outstanding". After the left column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade entered the mountainous area and headed south from Tongqin City, the troops advanced to a small mountain village south of Mayuan. Since this village was located deep in the mountains, the local government and the people did not expect that the Japanese attacking forces would come deep into the mountains.

When the people knew that the Japanese troops were heading this way, there was no time to complete the government's propaganda of the task of clearing the countryside. So the villagers had to leave behind a large amount of supplies and hide in the mountains with only some items that were easy to take away.

When the officers and soldiers of the Left Column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade arrived at the village, they found the village full of chickens, ducks, pigs and oil. So they robbed all the food and supplies.

The officers and soldiers of the Left Column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade immediately set up camp in the village. At the same time, in order to satisfy their appetite, they set up a big pot and began to kill chickens and pigs.

However, the happiness of the officers and soldiers of the left column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade did not last long. After they had a big meal, they all suddenly began to vomit and have diarrhea.

The reason is very simple, because the officers and soldiers of the left column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade were all temporarily transferred from the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army. The officers and soldiers of the left column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade had never seen tung oil in the south. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army thought that the tung oil in the homes of ordinary people was cooking oil. Then the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army snatched the tung oil from the homes of ordinary people, and put it in a big pot as cooking oil to fry chicken.

You should know that tung oil is the main raw material for making paints and inks. It is widely used as waterproof, anti-corrosion and anti-rust coatings for buildings, machinery, weapons, vehicles and ships, fishing gear and electrical appliances. It can also be used to make oilcloth, oil paper, soap, pesticides and medical emetics and insecticides.

When the officers and soldiers of the Left Column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade ate the chicken fried in tung oil, they were all poisoned and completely lost the ability to move. The entire Left Column of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade was completely lying in the village. At the same time, they also lost direct contact with the brigade headquarters.

The sudden loss of contact with the Left Column left the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, puzzled. After many aerial reconnaissances, it was found that there were not a large number of Chinese troops on the Left Column's marching route. It should be said that there were no Chinese troops on this marching route.

However, now his left column has completely lost contact with him. If it is not surrounded and destroyed by the Chinese army, how can he explain the current situation? How should he report to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Japanese Army? Should he report to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Japanese Army, that one of his battalions of officers and soldiers got lost in the mountains and lost contact?

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, had been waiting in the brigade headquarters for almost a day, but there was still no news from his left column. Now, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, could no longer sit still. He had to immediately find out whether his left column was alive or dead.

Therefore, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, dispatched a battalion of troops to search carefully along the marching route of the left column. According to Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, even if all the people in the left column were killed, they had to bring their bodies back to him.

When the officers and soldiers of the brigade sent by the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, carefully searched the village deep in the mountains, they saw a scene that astonished them. They saw that all the rooms in the village were filled with officers and soldiers of the Left Column lying on the ground and groaning.

Because the officers and soldiers of the entire left column were constantly vomiting and having diarrhea, the entire village was filled with a stench that made people unable to approach.

When the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, learned that his left column was still there, he felt a lot more at ease. However, when he saw the detailed telegram sent by the captain in charge of finding the left column, he was completely dumbfounded. This was really too embarrassing.

At this moment, the brigade commander, Major General Kojun Jiang Bangxiong, had the urge to commit suicide by seppuku. Although his brigade was formed temporarily, he was still the commander of the brigade. Now that such a big scandal had occurred in his own army, wouldn't this cut off his path to further promotion?

Now, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, suddenly felt that perhaps the fact that his left column was completely wiped out in the mountains by the Chinese army might be the best news. This was much better than the devastating news now. At least it would give him the courage to send a telegram to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the Japanese 13th Army, to explain the situation.

However, the reality is always so unsatisfactory. Although the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, felt extremely aggrieved, the officers and soldiers of his left column still had to be rescued. Therefore, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, ordered the battalion to go for the search and rescue all the officers and soldiers of the left column and bring them to the rear for treatment.

After being out of contact for thirty-six hours, the officers and soldiers of the Left Column of the Kojunjiang Brigade of the Japanese Army finally restored contact with the brigade headquarters with the help of the search team and safely withdrew to the starting point. The only drawback was that the officers and soldiers of the Left Column needed to receive treatment immediately, so there was no hope for them to participate in the subsequent battles.
