"How many devils are coming?"

"There are thousands of discoveries, and it is estimated that at least one reinforced brigade is located." The scout said an approximate number. In addition to reconnoitring the puppet army, the 321st Brigade has arranged scouts along several main roads around the unit, especially the main roads leading to Jinhua and Lanxi. The scouts searched along the main road, found the traces of the devil, and immediately reported back by wireless telephone.

"Good luck to these boys!" Zhang Erxiao slapped heavily on the tree. I had already made up my mind to give this group of puppet soldiers a ruthless blow, and at least a few hundred of them had to be captured, but now it's good, the plan is all disrupted by the devils! However, Brigade Commander Zhang was not afraid or worried, he was actually a little happy. Anti-Japanese, it is to fight devils, what is anti-Japanese just to fight the puppet army? There are not a hundred but eighty devils killed by his Zhang Erxiao's gun, and it is just right to add a few more!

"Order the troops to build fortifications on the spot and prepare for battle!" On the one hand, you are preparing to fight the devils, and on the other hand, you have to guard against the puppet army taking advantage of the chaos to stab you in the back, although this possibility is not very large, as the commander of the combat unit, all kinds of possibilities must be considered.

After receiving Zhang Sheng's call, Kono Daisa, chief of staff of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, immediately reported to the division commander, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo, about the danger faced by the 5th Security Brigade. Although this puppet brigade was sent by the commander of the 13th Army, Shigeru Sawada, to the 32nd Division to assist in the attack, and the 32nd Division did send this group of puppet troops to the front to explore the way, but if the 5th Security Brigade was really wiped out by the Chinese army, the 32nd Division would definitely be reprimanded by the base camp!

The more puppet troops there are, the more it shows that the Japanese army has succeeded in governing the occupied areas, and the more it shows that the Japanese army has come to establish the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, not to engage in aggression, not to kill people and steal things. You see, so many Chinese are willing to join the ranks of the Japanese army, Chinese how popular the Japanese army is in China! Although these words are all nonsense to cover up their ears and steal bells, the Japanese government authorities still need these nonsense words as a fig leaf to cover up their crimes of aggression and make the international community not too disgusted with Japan.

The Imperial Allied Army and the puppet army are all political needs, not just military needs. Therefore, any formed puppet army unit cannot be easily lost, and the base camp of the Japanese army is not allowed to do so. As the chief of staff of the division, Kono Daisa, of course, knows the political significance of the existence of this puppet army, and no matter how useless the 5th Security Brigade is, no matter how straw bales, they must not be eliminated under the command of the 32nd Division! These bales must be saved!

The chief of staff knew what was at stake, and Lieutenant General Ide, as a senior officer in the Japanese army, was of course more aware of the significance of the existence of this puppet army, and after receiving Kono Daisa's report, the commander of the Iide Iron Treasure Division immediately mobilized his troops and hurried over to rescue the 5th Security Brigade.

Zhang Erxiao was about to lead the troops, and when he collectively transferred all the puppet troops of the Fifth Security Brigade into prisoners in the past, the devil came, which couldn't be more coincidental! The 321st Brigade is out of the sheath with its bow and is ready for battle, and at this time the devil is coming, so what else is there to say? Let's fight!

The devil has a high degree of mechanization, and his weapons are more advanced than our army, at least more advanced than the current 500 Army, and Zhang Erxiao, as the backbone general of the 500 Army, knows it in his heart. So, in the face of the sudden attack of the devils, he set up a defensive formation in advance, ordered the soldiers to dig trenches, repair bunkers, and prepare to fight a defensive battle with the devils.

The devil came to relieve the siege, and the 32nd Division was a public security division that was only established in 1939, and it had been stationed in Shanxi before, and this time it was temporarily transferred to the 13th Army in order to fight the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

In the literal sense of the word, everyone can know that this division is not the same thing as the 3rd and 6th divisions encountered by the 500 Army in the past, not only in terms of personnel there are not as many permanent first-class divisions as the 3rd and 6th divisions, but also in terms of heavy weapons rationing is much less than these divisions. The Japanese army's permanent Class A divisions generally have 24,000 to 28,000 men, and the 32nd Division is a newly established Type B division after 1938, with a full strength of 18,000 men, and the number of light and heavy machine guns and various artillery pieces is much smaller than that of Class A divisions.

The 500 Army is a field unit that is accustomed to fighting with Class A divisions such as the 3rd and 6th Divisions all year round, and although the equipment of the troops is not the most advanced in the national army system, their combat experience is extremely rich, especially a senior commander like Zhang Erxiao, who belongs to the veteran level in the 500 Army, and even more regards fighting with devils as a daily routine. Hearing that there were devils attacking, Brigade Commander Zhang only felt that a familiar battle passion filled his heart, and there was no fear at all, only the excitement before the big war appeared in his heart!

"Dig quickly, dig deeper here!"

"Lift the machine gun over here!"

The land was a scene of hot labor, soldiers dancing shovels and sapper shovels sweating like rain, boxes of bullets were resisted into the trenches, machine guns were mounted on the firing positions, officers and soldiers were mixed together, all busy wielding tools, and everyone was working desperately for the coming big war.

"The devil is here, quick, get ready to fight!"

With the shouts of the commander, the soldiers who were carrying out civil engineering work put down the labor tools in their hands and picked up their guns, and the muzzles of each gun were aimed forward, looking for the figure of the devil who might appear at any time.

A small swaying dot appeared in the distance, quickly became larger and longer, the dot turned into a line, and the swaying dot became a faint figure, the figure became clearer and clearer, and the number became more and more, and gradually I could distinguish the khaki military uniforms worn by these people and the khaki military hats on their heads, they were devils! There were mule-drawn carts in the middle of the crowd of devils, and flags with red plaster symbols fluttering in the wind above the procession. The devils are in a hurry.

"Artillery company, open fire!" Zhang Erxiao yelled at the phone, and more than a dozen shells exploded in the group of devils!

The devil team was chaotic for a moment, and quickly divided into small teams, and pounced towards our army's position! It can be seen that there are devil officers holding command knives urging the devil soldiers to rush forward. The threatened and insulted devil soldiers ran forward with their heads bowed, their faces tiger, their rifles in hand, and the screams of their animals before they were slaughtered.

The artillery fire of our army was diverted after only one salvo, and the shells of the devils came one after another, plowing the position where the artillerymen of the 321st Brigade had just been.

"Hit!" Seeing that the devil had entered the firing range, Zhang Erxiao gave the troops an order to shoot. In an instant, the gunfire on our army's position turned into bursting beans, and puffs of green smoke rose down the trenches.
