Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chapter 602: The Way Back Is Cut Off

The commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, ordered a battalion of officers and soldiers to be responsible for the brigade's rear guard mission. After the main force of the brigade began to move in, the rear guard troops could fight and retreat until they retreated to the starting position as early as possible. The entire brigade then fully switched to a defensive posture, first stabilizing the front line, and at the same time finding out as soon as possible what the situation of the Chinese army in Wenzhou was.

The new 210th Division and the new 211th Division of the new 100nd Army launched a comprehensive attack on the Japanese Kojunjiang Brigade from three sides, constantly compressing the movement space of the Japanese Kojunjiang Brigade. The officers and soldiers of these two divisions were not too worried about the Japanese retreat, because the troops of the new th Division were responsible for the rear of the Japanese army, and they just had to keep pushing forward.

The commander of the Japanese Army's Kojune Brigade, Major General Kojune Kunio, led the brigade's main force and quickly completed the task of turning the entire army around, and then quickly retreated back the way they came. The brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio, looked at the time in his pocket watch and made a rough calculation in his mind. At the current speed, it should take about an hour to return to the starting position in the morning.

In this case, the battalion responsible for the rear guard mission should still be able to withstand the offensive of the Chinese army. After all, they can fight and retreat at the same time. They just need to slow down the advance of the Chinese army. When they reach the starting position, their own brigade can rely on the defensive positions left by the Chinese army to block the offensive of the Chinese army.

After the commander of the Japanese Army's Kojune Brigade, Major General Kojune Kunio, led his troops to run for an hour, and finally they were not far from the starting position in the morning. Although the commander of the brigade, Major General Kojune Kunio, was sweating all over, he still loudly asked the officers and soldiers in the army to speed up.

The brigade commander, Major General Kojun Jiang Bangxiong, knew that only by entering the defensive position early and making preparations could they hold this line of defense against the attack of the Chinese army in the near future. At the same time, when the brigade commander, Major General Kojun Jiang Bangxiong, turned his troops just now, he had already sent an inquiry telegram and a report on the current situation to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, judged that the size of the Chinese army attacking his troops was at least two elite Chinese division-level troops. In that case, now was not the time to talk about when to capture Wenzhou. The limited strength of his brigade was not enough to successfully capture Wenzhou under the defense of two elite Chinese troops.

If Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, could dispatch some reinforcements to him, especially volunteers with heavy firepower, then the brigade commander Major General Kojun Jiang Bangxiong would still have the confidence to break through the defense lines of these two division-level elite Chinese troops and occupy the city of Wenzhou.

The brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio, is now waiting for the troops to arrive at the position on the defense line, and then he will quickly set up the radio station and contact the commander of the Japanese 13th Army, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, to see if he can get any useful information from the commander, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru.

Just as the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, was anxiously leading his troops towards the defense line, a burst of fierce gunfire and explosions suddenly rang out from the front of the defense line. This frightened the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, who was already sweating profusely, and made him break out in cold sweats.

My rear defense line was occupied by the Chinese army? Why is there no news at all? I left two squadrons of troops on the rear defense line. Even if the Chinese army captured this defense line, there should be some officers and soldiers who would meet them halfway.

He led his troops all the way back, but did not encounter a single officer or soldier retreating from the defense line. This meant that the defensive forces of his two squadrons had been completely wiped out under the attack of the Chinese army, and no one survived.

This also shows that the scale and combat effectiveness of the Chinese army that attacked their rear defensive positions were absolutely very strong, otherwise there would be no way to achieve such a perfect combat effect.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, immediately reacted to the gunfire coming from his rear defense line. He realized that the Chinese army had been planning to attack his brigade. Judging from the size of the Chinese army that had appeared now, there was at least an army-level elite Chinese army surrounding and attacking him.

This was not something that their temporarily formed brigade could handle alone. They had to tell the situation to Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army. The Chinese army had already prepared a trap. The temporary 33rd Division in Wenzhou City was just a bait and a cover. The elite troops of the Chinese Army had been waiting outside Wenzhou City for their troops to fall into the encirclement.

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, our starting position is filled with Chinese troops. Just now when our marching column was approaching the defensive position, it was ambushed by the Chinese army. All the officers and soldiers of the squadron walking in the front were killed." A staff officer ran up to the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, and reported anxiously with a horrified look on his face.

"What? An entire squadron of officers and soldiers was wiped out just like that? Is the firepower of the Chinese army so fierce?" After hearing the loss report from the staff officer, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, was stunned. How many Chinese troops were there? What kind of army was this? They wiped out an entire squadron in front of them in a short time. Moreover, other troops must have suffered losses as well. If you calculate it this way, the troops he has would be even fewer.

"Order the troops in the front to withdraw first and disengage from the firefight with the Chinese army on the defense line. All troops should prepare for defense first and set up the radio station immediately. I will report the situation to the commander right away." The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, also immediately ordered the troops to shrink their defense. Now he was completely in the dark about the situation of the Chinese army and had no way to make reasonable response decisions.

Now they must quickly get the specific situation and size of the Chinese army. They can't fight blindly anymore. Of course, the brigade commander, Major General Kojun Jiang Kunio, also needs to tell Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, to send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise his brigade may really be lost.

When the Japanese troops retreated, Zhang Wenwu put down the telescope in his hand. He saw from the attack of the New 100th Division that at least two or three hundred Japanese soldiers were knocked down in the marching column, and a smile appeared on his face.

Now the Japanese army's strength was reduced again, which was very beneficial for the subsequent encirclement and annihilation.
