Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Therefore, Commander Sun, acting commander of the Sixth War Zone of the Chinese government, ordered that the 79th Army must hold its position for at least three days. If it completes the combat mission assigned by the Sixth War Zone Command, it will be rewarded handsomely after the war.

In other words, Commander Sun, acting commander of the Sixth War Zone of the Chinese government, and Chief of Staff Guo of the War Zone believed that the Tenth Army could only hold out for three more days at most.

After the orders of Commander Sun, Acting Commander of the Sixth War Zone of the Chinese Government, and Chief of Staff Guo of the War Zone were conveyed to Commander Wang of the Tenth Army Command of the Chinese Government, Commander Wang of the Tenth Army believed that if his troops continued to carry out passive and simple defense, it was estimated that his Tenth Army would not be able to hold out for long. Therefore, Commander Wang of the Tenth Army ordered the various units of the Tenth Army to begin counterattacking the attacking forces of the Japanese Eleventh Army's center route to disrupt the rhythm of the Japanese Eleventh Army's center route attack, thereby buying more time for defense.

Commander Wang of the Tenth Army of the Chinese Government ordered the 79th Army to hold off the attack of the Japanese 11th Army's offensive forces on the front, and ordered the 66th Army to suddenly attack the Japanese 11th Army's offensive forces from the flank.

The attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army had never expected that the 10th Army of the Chinese Government would actually counterattack from the flank when their attack was so fierce. For a time, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army were thrown into chaos by the counterattack of the 10th Army of the Chinese Government.

However, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army in the middle had absolute advantages in manpower and firepower. After a day of fierce fighting, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army also repelled the counterattack launched from the flank by the 66th Army of the 10th Army of the Chinese government. Then, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army continued to attack the Nuanshui Street line.

Afterwards, the attacking force in the center of the Japanese 11th Army began to concentrate all its firepower to attack the defense line of the Chinese government's 10th Army. After a day of hard fighting under the full-scale attack of the Japanese 11th Army's attacking force, the 98th Division responsible for the defense of Ganxi Beach on the flank and the 194th Division responsible for the defense of Wangjiachang suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the Japanese 11th Army's attacking force, but these two defensive positions were still firmly held by the 10th Army's troops.

Commander Wang of the 10th Army saw that the defensive positions on the Ganxitan and Wangjiachang lines had been completely destroyed by the heavy artillery fire of the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army. The troops on these two lines had no way to continue to hold on without the support of defensive positions, so he ordered the 98th Division and the 194th Division, which had suffered heavy casualties, to retreat.

After the 98th and 194th Divisions retreated, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army finally occupied Wangjiachang and Ganxitan. However, the most critical Nuanshui Street was still under the control of the Provisional 6th Division of the Chinese Government. The attacking forces of the central route of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army knew that only by occupying Nuanshui Street could the safety of Wangjiachang be ensured.

The attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army also mobilized heavy troops to attack Nuanshui Street many times, but the Chinese government's Provisional 6th Division resisted very tenaciously. Facing the fierce fighting Miao soldiers of the Provisional 6th Division, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army made very slow progress after suffering considerable casualties.

Of course, the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Provisional Sixth Division were also very huge. Although the weapons and firepower of the Provisional Sixth Division were no match for the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army, the officers and soldiers of the Provisional Sixth Division placed the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army within a hundred meters in front of the defensive position and then opened fire to block them. Then they waited until the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army rushed to within fifty meters of the defensive position before throwing grenades. As soon as the grenades exploded in the crowd of the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army, the officers and soldiers of the Provisional Sixth Division had already rushed over with bayonets and engaged in close hand-to-hand combat with the offensive forces of the Japanese Army.

Although this tactic was able to repel the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army many times, it was also a tactic that would kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of one's own. However, when the Chinese army was completely at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment and manpower, this was the only tactic that could help the Chinese army hold its defensive positions.

During the period when the attacking forces of the Japanese 11th Army were attacking the Provisional 6th Division in Nuanshui Street, Commander Wang of the Tenth Army of the Chinese government also mobilized the already crippled 98th Division and the 194th Division to launch multiple counterattacks against the attacking forces of the Japanese 11th Army. However, because the attacking forces of the Japanese 11th Army in the center were too strong, the multiple counterattacks of the Tenth Army ended in failure.

The central attack force of the Japanese 11th Army attacked the defensive positions of the Provisional 6th Division of Nuanshui Street from the front, while using the forces of two main divisions to continue to encircle it from both flanks of Nuanshui Street, thus surrounding the Provisional 6th Division of Nuanshui Street on three sides.

However, what the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army did not expect was that the Provisional 6th Division in Nuanshui Street was too brave. The attacks of the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army were repelled again and again by the Provisional 6th Division. If Nuanshui Street was not a very critical core point, the attacking forces of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army would have wanted to take a detour.

However, the Provisional Sixth Division in Nuanshui Street is now in a very difficult situation, because the Japanese army has cut off the Chinese government's land transportation lines for obtaining foreign aid for two years, and the Provisional Sixth Division is already facing a serious shortage of ammunition.

Before the war, each soldier of the Provisional 6th Division was equipped with only four grenades, which were quickly used up by the soldiers of the Provisional 6th Division under repeated attacks by the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army. After the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army attacked Nuanshui Street for several consecutive days, all the officers and soldiers of the Provisional 6th Division had no grenades left to use. The officers and soldiers could only wait until the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army approached the defensive positions and then rush out to fight the Japanese with bayonets.

The officers and soldiers of the Provisional Sixth Division struggled to hold out until November 10th. Under the fierce attack of the Japanese 11th Army's offensive forces, Nuanshui Street was still firmly controlled by the Provisional Sixth Division, successfully completing the order issued by Commander Sun, acting commander of the Sixth War Zone of the Chinese government, to hold out for three days.

However, the situation at this time was extremely dangerous for the Provisional Sixth Division in Nuanshui Street. The friendly forces on both wings of the Provisional Sixth Division had already retreated, and the Nuanshui Street guarded by the Provisional Sixth Division had been surrounded on three sides by the offensive forces of the Japanese 11th Army.
