Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After the Japanese 3rd Division arrived at Yunshan, north of Linchuan, the attack force took a short rest and launched an attack on Linchuan from Yunshan the next day. After repelling the local security garrison, it completely occupied Linchuan. The troops of the 79th Army of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Government, which came to reinforce, had just entered Linchuan.

After learning that Linchuan was occupied by the offensive forces of the Japanese 3rd Division, Commander Xue of the 9th War Zone of the Chinese government ordered the 79th Army to attack and advance to the west bank of the Huangshui River in order to support the operations of the 3rd War Zone of the Chinese government and pose a threat to the Japanese 3rd Division troops in Linchuan.

In order to eliminate the threat posed by the 79th Army of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Government to Linchuan, Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, ordered the 34th Division of the Japanese Army to move south from Jinxian and launch an attack together with the troops of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army on the 79th Army and other troops of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Government located in the area west of Linchuan.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, ordered Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, to draw three infantry battalions from his own division to form the Iwanaga Detachment, which was under the direct command of the 11th Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army and continued to attack eastward along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway.

The commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, personally led the officers and soldiers of the three battalions of the Iwanaga Detachment to attack eastward along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. On the day when the 3rd Division occupied Linchuan, the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, also personally commanded the troops to break through the defense of the 75th Division of the 100th Army of the Chinese government and successfully occupied Jiangjunling.

In the evening of the next day, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, led his troops in a quick surprise attack on Togo and occupied Togo that night.

After Togo was occupied, the 75th Division of the 11th Army of the Chinese government concentrated all its forces and organized a counterattack against the Iwanaga Detachment of the Japanese Army that occupied Togo. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had just occupied Togo and had not yet established a firm foothold, the attacking force of the 75th Division rushed into the city of Togo and engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army. They successfully drove out the troops of the Iwanaga Detachment of the Japanese Army that had entered Togo and successfully recovered Togo.

After successfully recapturing Dongxiang, the 225th Division ordered the th Regiment to build defensive positions on the Wangwei Mountain and Maziling line east of Dongxiang to block the Japanese Iwanaga Detachment's eastward attack.

The commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, was very annoyed about the loss of Togo, but he also understood that the Iwanaga Detachment he led was only the size of three infantry battalions and had no advantage in terms of manpower strength. So, after personally reorganizing the troops again, he commanded the troops to continue attacking the 75th Division's defense line.

The commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, also made full use of the advantages of his troops' weapons and equipment and the better individual quality of Japanese officers and soldiers. After two days of attack and fighting, the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, led his troops to the west bank of the Baita River.

Seeing that the Japanese attacking force had arrived at the west bank of the Baita River, the 75th Division's defense forces could only blow up the railway bridge to prevent the Japanese Iwanaga Detachment from continuing to attack eastward. In this way, when the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, led his troops to the railway bridge, they could only stand on the bank of the Baita River and look across the river at the defense forces of the 75th Division of the Chinese government.

When the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang, saw that the key railway bridge had been blown up by the Chinese army, he felt very sorry. The reason why Lieutenant General Iwanaga Wang led his troops to attack eastward quickly was to occupy the railway bridge before the Chinese army destroyed it. This would greatly increase the advance speed of the troops. However, if they wanted to cross the river and continue to attack eastward, they could only think of other ways.

Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, let the officers and soldiers have a good rest on the west bank of the Baita River. Several days of continuous attacks and battles had made the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army very tired. Now that they have some rare free time on the battlefield, they have to let the officers and soldiers have a good rest and recover their physical strength and energy.

Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, took his troops to rest on the west bank of the Baita River for two days. Seeing that the officers and soldiers in the troops had basically recovered their strength, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Iwanaga Detachment to use rubber boats to force a crossing of the Baita River late that night and break the defensive positions of the Chinese army on the east bank of the Baita River.

At two o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, stood on the river bank on the west bank of the Baita River, looking at the first wave of attack troops who had boarded the rubber boats one after another. He also sighed that his luck was really good. At ten o'clock in the evening, it began to drizzle in the sky. In such weather, the Chinese army on the opposite line of defense would never have thought that their troops would launch an attack tonight.

Just as the commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, had expected, the officers and soldiers of the 75th Division of the Chinese government on the east bank of the Baita River did not expect that the Japanese Army would launch a forced crossing in such bad weather. In addition, the officers and soldiers of the 75th Division were already very tired from the continuous fighting over this period of time.

The Japanese attacking forces could rest peacefully on the west bank, but the officers and soldiers of the 75th Division of the Chinese government on the east bank could not rest. They needed to pay close attention to the attacks that the Japanese army might launch at any time. After waiting for a long time until the weather turned bad, the officers and soldiers on the defense line also relaxed their vigilance.

Under the cover of rain and darkness, Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, commanded the sneak attack troops to cross the Baita River and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the 75th Division of the Chinese government on the east bank defense line. After holding out for three hours, the 75th Division's defense line was broken by the Japanese attacking forces.

Lieutenant General Wang Iwanaga, commander of the 34th Division of the Japanese Army, led his troops to break through the defense line of the 75th Division of the Chinese government, and took advantage of the situation to continue to attack eastward quickly, capturing Yujiang County.

On the day when the Japanese Iwanaga Detachment captured Yujiang County, other units of the Japanese 3rd Division and the 34th Division were fighting fiercely with the 79th Army of the Ninth War Zone of the Chinese Government in Jianchang.

Lieutenant General Anami Korechika, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, carefully analyzed the current battle situation. Then, Lieutenant General Anami Korechika believed that the battle in the direction of Jianchang should be over tomorrow, and by then the Japanese 3rd Division would be able to capture Jianchang.
