Quartermasters can also fight the devils

The 1st Battalion, which was drawn from the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 26th Division, was in charge of the rear guard mission. Just now, the signalman sent by the battalion commander, Major Shigenori Kuroda, before the troops were surrounded, reported this disturbing news to the brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio, covered in blood.

As for the idea of ​​the battalion commander, Major Shigenori Kuroda, who hoped that the brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio, would send troops to rescue the surrounded First Battalion, this idea was automatically ignored by the brigade commander, Major General Kojune Kunio.

What a joke! We are now waiting for Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, to send troops to rescue us. Besides, we don't have any extra troops to send out to rescue the First Battalion. Being able to use this little force to defend against the attack of the New 22nd Army for two days is already a very outstanding record.

As for the First Battalion surrounded by the New 22nd Army, the Brigade Commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, could only cheer for the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion in his heart. The only thing that made the Brigade Commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong feel absolutely sorry was that now the defensive force on his side would be much less.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, immediately counted the remaining troops on his side. The First Battalion could no longer be counted, and it would be very good if they could hold back as many troops of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government as possible.

The result of the inventory made the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, feel even more hopeless about holding out for two days. Now, there are only 2,000 combat troops around him, including some lightly wounded soldiers.

With this amount of troops, the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, felt that if they could hold out for a day and a half under the siege of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government, they would have exceeded their mission. The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, felt that even if they were replaced with the same force from a Type A division, they would probably not be able to hold out for two days, not to mention their own temporarily formed brigade.

Before the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, could figure out how to hold out for two days, the new 100th Division troops originally on the defense line sent out an attack force and began attacking the location of the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong.

The main purpose of the attack by the new 100th Division was to prevent the remaining Japanese troops of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade from having the time and energy to build fortifications. When other troops of the new nd Army attacked, the officers and soldiers of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade of the Japanese Army would not be able to hold out for long without fortifications.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, is really anxious now. The troops of the new 22nd Army of the Chinese government are obviously not giving his troops time to build fortifications, but he has no good way to solve the problem at hand.

If the officers and soldiers were not allowed to resist with all their might, the attacking forces of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government might be able to rush into the defense circle of their own troops. But if they tried to stop them with all their might, who would dig the defense positions? Without defense positions, how could their small number of troops in the wild withstand the siege of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government?

The only problem that the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, finally concluded was that his own troops were too few and he was simply unable to take care of both ends. The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, quickly calculated in his mind that if he wanted to hold out for two days against the siege of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government, he would need to at least triple the existing troops to have this possibility.

In the headquarters of the new 100th Division, Zhang Wenwu was also looking at the battle map on the table, and happily said to Ouyang Heng beside him: "Brother Ouyang, the Japanese brigade at the rear has been surrounded by the troops of the new 210th Division and the new 211th Division. It is estimated that the encircling Japanese brigade can be completely eliminated tonight. Now, the Japanese troops will be even less. This is a good thing, a good thing."

"Division Commander, the war is going very smoothly now. Everything is being carried out according to our pre-war battle plan. Li Zhengying is now leading the officers and soldiers of the Special Service Battalion and the Death Squad to launch a harassing attack on the main force of the Japanese army, preventing the Japanese army from building fortifications and preparing in advance for our large-scale night attack tonight." Ouyang Heng also happily reported on the current progress and deployment of the troops.

"Okay, let the troops that are going to attack at night have a good rest. How effective the attack can be at night depends on you brothers. Whoever captures the brigade commander Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong alive, I will personally ask for credit for him." Zhang Wenwu generously waved his hand and made capturing the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, alive as an extra to the goal of this operation.

The news that the New 22nd Army had surrounded the Japanese Kojunjiang Brigade was immediately passed to the top government level. After receiving this good news, the top government level smiled for the first time since the start of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign.

At the same time, the highest level of the government also personally issued orders regarding the multiple reinforcements of other Japanese troops, requiring all troops to delay the Japanese reinforcements for at least two days. If any unit dared to let the Japanese reinforcements pass without authorization, the commander of the unit would be shot and no leniency would be shown.

As this murderous order was issued from the highest level of the government, all the troops in the Third War Zone of the Chinese Government were on high alert and ready to block the Japanese troops in front of them. This time the chief officers of each unit also put forth all their strength. After all, if they failed to fight well, their heads would definitely be in vain.

You know, the New 22nd Army is the apple of the eye of the top government leaders. If anyone dares to do anything weird at this time, causing the New 22nd Army to fail in combat or suffer heavy losses, the top government leaders will definitely reward him with a peanut, and no matter who comes to plead for mercy, it will be useless.

For a time, the battle between the Third War Zone of the Chinese government and the Thirteenth Army of the Japanese Army became a mess. Both sides' troops received death orders, which made the fighting between the officers and soldiers of both sides extremely fierce from the beginning.

However, these situations were insignificant to Major General Kojunjiang Kunio, the commander of the Kojunjiang Brigade in the encirclement. In the eyes of Major General Kojunjiang Kunio, the most important thing at the moment was to quickly dig out the defensive fortifications.

In order to build the fortifications before dark, the commander of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade, Major General Xiaojunjiang Bangxiong, ordered half of the officers and soldiers to resist the harassment of the offensive forces of the New 22nd Army of the Chinese government, while the other half of the officers and soldiers, each holding an engineering shovel, frantically dug trenches.
