Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Inside the headquarters of the new 100th Division, Zhang Wenwu was sitting in the command center with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, while the Chief of Staff Ouyang Heng beside him was busy directing the officers and soldiers of the division headquarters to load all the belongings into the vehicles. It was getting dark, and according to the combat plan, the troops of the new 100th Division would abandon their defense line and withdraw to the periphery tonight.

"Brother Ouyang, stop working so hard. Let the staff officers handle these matters. You can't do everything by yourself. Come, have a cigarette. There are still two or three hours before dark. No rush, no rush." ​​Zhang Wenwu looked at the busy Ouyang Heng and kindly comforted him.

Ouyang Heng took the cigarette Zhang Wenwu handed over, lit it and took two puffs before asking, "Division Commander, do you think the Japanese army's Xiaojunjiang Brigade will be fooled? Aren't we playing it too fake? Moreover, the troops in front even pretended to be running away when they retreated. Don't you think we're overdoing it?"

Ouyang Heng was still a little worried. The troops on the front line of defense seemed to have little talent for acting. He was afraid that the troops in front would overact and let the commander of the Japanese Kojunjiang Brigade, Kojunjiang Kunio, notice the clues. If the Japanese army noticed something was wrong and stopped advancing towards Wenzhou City, then the pocket set up by the New 22nd Army would be in vain.

Zhang Wenwu glanced at Ouyang Heng who was a little worried, then said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang, you can rest assured. This temporary brigade of the Japanese army will definitely fall into the trap. As the saying goes, the real is false and the false is real. This false and real will definitely make the Japanese army believe it. Besides, with the current situation of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, how can they have any judgment? Now the eyes of Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, the commander of the Japanese Xiaojunjiang Brigade, are probably all about how to gain military merits to make up for the previous embarrassment. For him, we are the best supplements in his mouth. People, in the face of huge temptations of interests, have no judgment ability."

Ouyang Heng listened to Zhang Wenwu's explanation and his worries were relieved. Just as Zhang Wenwu said, for this temporary brigade of the Japanese army, being able to gain significant military merit is more important than anything else. As long as they can gain sufficient military merit, other things will not matter to this brigade of the Japanese army.

"Commander, what you said makes sense. I hope the Japanese army will act according to our plan." Ouyang Heng also sincerely expressed his hope. He really wanted to surround and destroy this Japanese army.

Zhang Wenwu rolled his eyes at Ouyang Heng who was smoking, thinking, I said so much, and you just dealt with it so simply? As the chief of staff, shouldn't you praise me for my wisdom and bravery? It's really boring.

When Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, saw that his troops were once again beaten back by the Chinese army in the third attack in the afternoon, he did not care much in his heart, because the firepower on the Chinese army's defense line was obviously much weaker than before, which showed that the officers and soldiers on the Chinese army side collapsed very quickly.

The commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, looked up at the sky. There was still about an hour before dark. If they went fast enough, they could launch a full-scale offensive before dark. This time, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, decided to put all his forces into the attack and deal a fatal blow to the Chinese army on the opposite line of defense, and try to break through this line of defense of the Chinese army before dark.

Twenty minutes later, all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army's Kojune Brigade, with the fire support of infantry artillery, launched the largest-scale attack on the defense line of the New 100th Division. Looking at the officers and soldiers charging forward while shouting, the brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio, ignited infinite fighting spirit in his heart and was filled with pride.

The new 100th Division currently only had a battalion of officers and soldiers on the defense line. Their main task was to let the Japanese see them fleeing in disarray. As for shooting to stop the Japanese attack? Well, simply firing a few shots would be enough. Anyway, the higher-ups hadn't explained this matter.

Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, stood on a small earthen slope, excitedly looking through a telescope at the Chinese army fleeing in the distance. He knew that this attack of his was very effective. The momentum of the charge alone frightened the Chinese army so much that they fled backwards, leaving their weapons and armor behind. It seemed that his troops would soon be able to break through the Chinese army's defense line.

"Send a telegram to the Commander and tell him that we have successfully broken through the Chinese army's defense line outside Wenzhou and that the Chinese army has been completely defeated by us. As it is getting dark, our troops will arrive outside Wenzhou tomorrow morning and launch an attack on Wenzhou. We will strive to occupy Wenzhou tomorrow and complete the combat mission assigned by the Commander." The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, held up the binoculars in his hand and spoke loudly to the communications staff officer beside him with high spirits.

Major General Yasuo Karakawa, Chief of Staff of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, walked quickly into the room of Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, Commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, holding the victory report he had just received from Major General Kunio Kojune, Commander of the Kojune Brigade.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, the commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, sent a telegram saying that they have just broken through the defense line of the Chinese army outside Wenzhou and completely defeated the Chinese army outside Wenzhou City. The commander of the brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, predicts that if everything goes well, Wenzhou City can be occupied tomorrow."

Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Japanese Army, also smiled knowingly after hearing the telegram read by Chief of Staff Major General Karakawa Yasuo, "Karakawa-kun, it is just as you said before. It seems that Brigade Commander Kojun Jiang Bangxiong is really anxious. He completely defeated the Chinese army in Wenzhou so quickly. This record is not bad."

"Your Excellency the Commander is right. After all, the Kojune Brigade was also formed temporarily. It is already very good that Brigade Commander Kojune Kunio was able to lead them to achieve such results. Can the 13th Army Headquarters consider sending a commendation telegram to Brigade Commander Kojune Kunio to encourage Brigade Commander Kojune Kunio and the officers and soldiers?" Major General Yasuo Karakawa, Chief of Staff of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, also followed the words of Commander Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada and did a favor for the brigade commander of the Kojune Brigade, Major General Kojune Kunio.

You know, if the 13th Army Headquarters sends a commendation telegram to the Xiaojunjiang Brigade and its commander, Major General Xiaojunjiang Kunio, it means that the performance of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign has been recognized by the 13th Army Headquarters, which is of great significance.
