Quartermasters can also fight the devils

The commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, is now glad that he left two squadrons of troops on the original defense line of the New 100th Division to guard the safety of his rear. In the current situation, as long as his rear is safe, the Chinese army will not be able to cause too much damage to his brigade.

However, what the brigade commander of the Kojune Brigade, Major General Kojune Kunio, did not know was that as soon as he and his troops left the occupied New 100th Division's defensive position, the New 100th Division's troops had already gathered on both wings of the defense line.

Zhang Wenwu looked at the time on his watch. According to the battle plan issued by Commander Huang of the New 100nd Army, when the battle outside Wenzhou City broke out, Zhang Wenwu's new th Division would have to recapture all the original defense positions within an hour and block the retreating Japanese Xiaojunjiang Brigade in front of the defense line. It would not be allowed to break through the defense line and escape.

Therefore, after the commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Kunio, led his troops to Wenzhou City, in order to launch an attack on the Japanese troops on the defense position as soon as possible, Zhang Wenwu ordered the officers and soldiers of the special service battalion and the death squad to go out in advance and try to lurk close to the Japanese defense positions. When the order from the front came, they could launch a surprise attack on the Japanese defense positions as quickly as possible.

"Ring, ring, ring" "Ring, ring, ring"

"Hello, this is Zhang Wenwu. Yes, launch the attack immediately." Zhang Wenwu picked up the phone and after hearing the order from Commander Huang on the other end of the phone, he turned around and gave the order to start the attack to the combat staff who had been waiting by his side.

Li Zhengying led the officers and soldiers of the suicide squad to hide fifty meters in front of the Japanese defense position early. Because it was daytime, Li Zhengying did not dare to let the officers and soldiers get too close to the Japanese defense position. Fortunately, it was summer now, and the lush weeds around provided the best cover for the officers and soldiers of the suicide squad.

Suddenly, a series of explosions occurred on the Japanese defensive positions. This was the fire support provided by the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division's mortar unit, and it was also a clear instruction to launch an attack.

You know, this defensive position is where the new 100th Division has been stationed for many days. The firing parameters for every area here have long been standardized and clear, and it can be said that they can hit wherever they point. This continuous mortar attack has severely damaged the Japanese troops on the defensive position.

The officers and soldiers of the two squadrons left behind by Major General Kunio Kojune, commander of the Japanese Kojune Brigade, had never expected that they would be subjected to such fierce artillery attacks from the Chinese army. They had witnessed with their own eyes the soldiers of the Chinese army fleeing in panic. No one could have imagined that the Chinese army was capable of launching such a large-scale attack.

After breakfast, the officers and soldiers of the two Japanese squadrons gathered in twos and threes, sitting outside the defensive position to bask in the sun and chat, while some officers and soldiers lay on the top of the position to take a nap. Everyone was very satisfied with the garrison mission arranged by the brigade commander. It was not easy to get such a leisurely task on the battlefield.

When the rapidly fired mortar shells of the New 100th Division fell on the defensive positions, the Japanese officers and soldiers of the two squadrons did not react at all. After the first round of mortar shells exploded, the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers all ran to the nearest anti-artillery holes in panic. However, the shells fired by the mortars of the New 100th Division did not allow these officers and soldiers to return to the anti-artillery holes as they wished. Instead, a fierce artillery fire covered them, leaving almost all of the Japanese officers and soldiers on the surface of the positions.

The mortar bombardment of the New 100th Division lasted for about three minutes. Although three minutes was not long, thanks to the mortar's terrifying rate of fire and the long-marked firing parameters, this short artillery coverage caused very heavy losses to the Japanese troops on the defensive positions. At least half of the Japanese officers and soldiers died in Jiuquan in this artillery raid by the New 100th Division.

As the mortars of the New 100th Division ceased firing, the officers and soldiers of the New 100th Division, who had been lurking on both wings, jumped out of the weeds and began to rush quickly towards the Japanese defensive positions. At this time, the speed of the charge was a competition.

As soon as the artillery fire of the New 100th Division stopped, the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers hurriedly took their weapons and entered their positions from their hiding places, ready to stop the upcoming charge of the Chinese army.

However, the speed of the Japanese officers and soldiers was still a little slow. When the first wave of Japanese officers and soldiers arrived at the shooting position and looked outside the position, they saw that the assault troops of the New 100th Division had rushed to a distance of less than ten meters away from their defensive trenches.

At this distance, they could only fire one shot at most, and there was no way to pull the bolt for the rest of the time. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese defensive forces could not think too much and just fired a bullet outside the position. As for the shooting effect, the Japanese officers and soldiers had no mood or time to check it at this time, because the Chinese army's assault troops had already rushed into the trenches.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield became sparse, and all that was left were the loud shouts of soldiers on both sides, the sounds of bayonets colliding, and the slight "pop" sounds of bayonets entering the body.

Zhang Wenwu put down the telescope and looked at the time. It took less than eight minutes from the start of the attack to the rush into the Japanese defensive position. As more and more officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division rushed into the Japanese defensive position, there would be no problem in completely destroying this small group of Japanese troops within the time of Commander Huang's combat plan.

"Brother Ouyang, tell the attacking troops not to let a single Japanese soldier go. After the battle is over, the entire division will immediately move into defensive positions according to the formulated battle plan. We will then give the retreating Japanese troops a big surprise." Zhang Wenwu ordered Ouyang Heng without even turning his head.

Ouyang Heng also understood what Zhang Wenwu said about giving the retreating Japanese troops a surprise. As long as not a single Japanese soldier on the defensive position here escaped, the large Japanese army retreating from Wenzhou City would not know that the defensive positions on their rear road had been occupied by the New 100th Division.

In that case, when the main force of the Japanese army retreats to the front of the position, the new 100th Division will concentrate its firepower on the main force of the Japanese army, which will be guaranteed to make the main force of the Japanese army very happy.

The more casualties the Japanese troops inflict now, the more helpful it will be for the subsequent annihilation operations. After all, for this encirclement and annihilation operation, the Third War Zone Command only gave the New 22nd Army a maximum of two days. It is still quite difficult to completely eliminate a brigade-level Japanese force in such a short time.
