Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After listening to Ouyang Heng's report on Li Zhengying's battle plan, Zhang Wenwu looked at the time again. According to the time when Li Zhengying and his men entered the Japanese defensive positions, his night attack troops had basically all entered the Japanese defensive positions.

Moreover, up to now, no gunshots of fighting have been heard from the Japanese defensive positions. This means that the troops on the Japanese defensive positions have not yet discovered that their night attack troops have entered their defensive positions. If this continues, the Japanese troops in this brigade may be slaughtered by Li Zhengying, the officers and soldiers of the special forces battalion and the suicide squad.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenwu also felt that his night attack troops would not be able to create a miracle. If they could wipe out the entire Japanese brigade with bayonets and swords in one night, then his troops would really become famous.

Originally, according to Zhang Wenwu and Ouyang Heng's idea, the best result of tonight's night attack was to split the defensive positions of the Japanese brigade, divide the Japanese army into several positions of different sizes and encircle them, and then launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement after the other two divisions of the new 22nd Army arrived tomorrow.

However, Li Zhengying's successful operation gave Zhang Wenwu a big surprise. Zhang Wenwu now felt that with the strength of his own division, he should be able to wipe out all the remnants of this Japanese brigade, and the casualties of the troops could be controlled at a very low level.

"Brother Ouyang, do you think we should put all our attacking forces into the night attack tonight? This is a rare opportunity that comes only once in a thousand years. The new 210th Division and the new 211th Division will surely be able to completely annihilate the Japanese brigade that they are surrounded by tonight. If we can also eliminate the remaining troops of this Japanese brigade tonight, then no matter how fast the reinforcements of the Japanese th Army arrive, it will be impossible for the rescue to succeed." After thinking about it, Zhang Wenwu expressed his thoughts to Ouyang Heng.

"Commander, I think it's possible. I was just thinking about this on the way back. If our night attack tonight is successful, it will be a huge turning point for the entire Zhejiang-Jiangxi battlefield. It will also reduce the pressure on other friendly forces blocking the Japanese reinforcements on the outside." Ouyang Heng also agreed with Zhang Wenwude's proposal.

Seeing that Ouyang Heng also agreed with his idea, Zhang Wenwu immediately ordered all the troops of the new 100th Division, except for the troops responsible for the encirclement, to participate in the night attack tonight. Anyway, a large gap in the Japanese defense position had been opened by his troops, and there was no need for his troops to charge from the front under the hail of bullets. This greatly reduced the casualties of the troops in the attack.

Li Zhengying didn't know that the night attack plan he had come up with had been expanded a lot by Zhang Wenwu. According to Li Zhengying's previous night attack plan, Hao Jian would lead his men to open a gap in the Japanese defense position, and then he would lead the night attack troops through the gap into the Japanese defense position and advance towards the center of the Japanese defense position. Finally, Hao Jian would pretend to be a Japanese officer and take advantage of the chaos to lead his men into the Japanese brigade headquarters and tie up the brigade commander Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong and bring him out.

The smooth progress of the night attack troops in the night attack also made Li Zhengying full of confidence in completing the night attack plan he had formulated. From entering the Japanese defense position to now, Li Zhengying roughly estimated that his night attack troops had quietly killed at least more than 400 Japanese soldiers.

Li Zhengying also lamented that the quality of officers and soldiers of this temporarily formed brigade of the Japanese Army was really poor. At this time, they were still snoring in the trenches, with no vigilance or sense of crisis at all. This made it easier for the officers and soldiers of his night attack force to carry out the attack than an exercise.

In fact, Li Zhengying had wrongly blamed these Japanese officers and soldiers. These Japanese officers and soldiers were resting in the trenches, but the order was personally issued by Major General Kojunjiang Kunio, the commander of the Kojunjiang Brigade.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, was also helpless. The officers and soldiers had been either fighting or digging trenches throughout the day, and the mental and physical consumption was too great. In addition, the morale of the officers and soldiers in the army was already very low. If the officers and soldiers were not allowed to rest well, the combat effectiveness of the troops would drop to a terrible level.

The brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, also thought that when the Chinese army launched a night attack, his own guard posts would detect the movements of the Chinese army in advance. Even if the soldiers on the guard posts did not detect the movements of the Chinese army's night attack, the Chinese army would always fire artillery and guns during the night attack. In that case, after hearing the gunshots and explosions, his own troops would be able to quickly enter the front-line positions to block the Chinese army's night attack.

As a result, except for a few guard soldiers on duty at the sentry posts, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade were resting in the trenches. The officers and soldiers of the Xiaojunjiang Brigade were still unaware of the officers and soldiers of the New 100th Division who launched a silent night attack with bayonets and daggers. This can be said to be a miracle in the war.

As time went by, the officers and soldiers of the suicide squad had successfully reached the center of the Japanese defensive position. They could even see the radio antenna erected in the middle of the position, which was the most obvious sign of the Japanese command headquarters.

After discovering the Japanese headquarters, Hao Jian, along with the soldiers from before, dressed in Japanese military uniforms, began to march along the trenches towards the Japanese headquarters. From now on, in addition to the night attack troops constantly reaping the lives of Japanese officers and soldiers, another major direction of action was whether Hao Jian could successfully infiltrate the Japanese brigade headquarters and capture the brigade commander, Major General Xiaojun Jiang Bangxiong, alive.

Hao Jian and several soldiers advanced very smoothly, so smoothly that Hao Jian felt that the Japanese army was setting a trap for him. The current situation was too unreal, but Hao Jian knew that the Japanese army really had no defenses at all. After all, the bodies of hundreds of Japanese officers and soldiers who were killed by the suicide squad officers and soldiers along the way were the best evidence.

When Hao Jian successfully arrived outside the Japanese brigade headquarters, he was finally stopped by two soldiers on duty at the door.

"Lieutenant, the brigade commander has gone to rest. Do you have anything urgent to report?" A soldier on guard asked Hao Jian politely.
