Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After the officers and soldiers of the battalion of the new 100th Division on the defense line fired two rounds of shots at the Japanese army, they retreated collectively. However, as required, the officers and soldiers did not need any formation or cover for this retreat. They just wanted to be chaotic so that the Japanese army would mistakenly believe that the Chinese army could not resist and was defeated.

It can be said that the officers and soldiers of this battalion of the New 100th Division acted out the scene of a completely routed army to the extreme. Except for weapons and ammunition, they threw everything else away while running. In order to make the performance more realistic, some officers and soldiers even imitated the martial artists in the operas they saw in the troupe and shouted loudly while running. Fortunately, the Japanese army was far away and could not hear clearly what these soldiers were shouting. They just thought that the Chinese soldiers were scared and were desperately running away.

The commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, brought the brigade headquarters to the defense line of the new 100th Division that had just been occupied. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and the officers and soldiers sitting on the ground to rest, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, was very proud.

His brigade was put together hastily, but under his leadership, this temporary force defeated the elite main force of the Chinese government. Such a record is something to be proud of even among Type A divisions, and it also indirectly reflects his combat command ability.

Major General Kojune Kunio, commander of the Kojune Brigade, believed that Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, must have seen his outstanding leadership and command abilities, and that he would definitely be promoted and reused better after the battle.

As for pursuing the Chinese army that had just fled, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, actually wanted to do so as well. If he could kill more officers and soldiers of the Chinese government's elite troops or capture some prisoners, then his military achievement would be even more certain.

However, what made the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, regretful was that the soldiers of these elite troops of the Chinese government fled too quickly. By the time his offensive troops rushed to the defensive positions, all these Chinese officers and soldiers had almost disappeared.

Moreover, these Chinese officers and soldiers fled in such a scattered manner that their own troops did not know which direction to chase them, because there were fleeing Chinese soldiers in every direction. Even the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, who had been watching the battle from behind, shook his head, because the Chinese soldiers were fleeing too scattered.

It is almost dark now, and the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, has asked the officers and soldiers of his brigade to rest where they are for a night, recuperate enough, and then attack towards Wenzhou City after dawn tomorrow, so as to strive to occupy Wenzhou City tomorrow and relax in Wenzhou City at night.

When the new 100th Division voluntarily gave up its defense line according to the combat plan, all units of the new nd Army had also completed their deployment. In order to take the enemy by surprise during the counterattack and to avoid reconnaissance by the Japanese intelligence department, the commander of the Third War Zone, General Gu, deliberately kept the new nd Army on the outskirts of Wenzhou. All officers and soldiers declared to the outside that they were members of the Provisional rd Division. This made it so that the intelligence personnel of the Japanese intelligence department in Wenzhou had no idea that the New nd Army was just outside the city of Wenzhou.

Until now, there are only the headquarters of the Provisional 33rd Division and an infantry battalion defending Wenzhou City. Moreover, in order to maintain the confidentiality of this encirclement and annihilation battle, Commander General Gu of the Third War Zone did not tell the Provisional 33rd Division about this combat plan, for fear that the Japanese intelligence personnel in Wenzhou City would learn of this combat plan in advance.

Therefore, after breaking through the defense line of the New 100th Division, the commander of the Kojunjiang Brigade, Major General Kojunjiang Kunio, sent a telegram to the commander of the th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, at night. He wanted to confirm which elite force of the Chinese government he had defeated, and at the same time, he was also preparing for the attack on Wenzhou City tomorrow.

After receiving the telegram from Major General Kojune Kunio, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, in line with the principle of cautious military operations, asked the Chief of Staff of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Major General Karakawa Yasuo, to personally send a telegram to the intelligence personnel of the intelligence department in Wenzhou City to see if there were any changes.

Major General Yasuo Karakawa, Chief of Staff of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, also personally questioned the intelligence department's undercover intelligence personnel in Wenzhou due to his job responsibilities, but the information he received was still that Wenzhou City was currently being defended by the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Chinese government and an infantry battalion, and no other Chinese troops appeared.

Therefore, the reply from Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, to Major General Kunio Kojune, commander of the Kojune Brigade, was very simple, that is, there was no change in the Chinese defenders in Wenzhou City, and he asked Major General Kunio Kojune, commander of the Kojune Brigade, to occupy Wenzhou City tomorrow.

Major General Kojune Kunio, commander of the Kojune Brigade, was puzzled when he saw the reply from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army. The Chinese army that was defeated today seemed to be the main force of the Chinese government, otherwise how could his brigade be stopped here for a whole day.

However, if it was the troops of the 33rd Provisional Division of the Chinese government in Wenzhou City that resisted the attack of his own troops for a day, the commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, would not want to admit it from the bottom of his heart. What kind of unit is the 33rd Provisional Division? How could such a newly formed unit be able to stop the attack of his own brigade for a day and also caused more than 400 casualties to his own brigade? This is not a joke.

However, the telegram from Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, had clearly told him that the city of Wenzhou was now being defended by the newly formed 33rd Army of the Chinese government. This was very strange.

The commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, was also depressed. The Chinese army that was defeated today left everything behind on the defensive positions, but not a single item or document that could indicate the unit number. This made it even more difficult for the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, to make a judgment.

However, after thinking for half a night, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, finally figured out that he should believe what he saw with his own eyes. The performance of the Chinese army in the battle that he saw today was enough to prove that his judgment was correct. This must be the main force of the Chinese government.

As for why there had always been the 33rd Provisional Division of the Chinese Government in Wenzhou City, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, quickly figured it out through his own analysis. It must be that the Third War Zone of the Chinese Government knew that his troops had attacked Wenzhou, so they temporarily transferred a part of the main forces of the Chinese Government from other places to stop him. This caused the problem that the strength of the troops blocking his brigade and the Chinese troops in Wenzhou City did not match.
