The Kono Brigade finally looked forward to reinforcements, and the arrival of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army completely relieved General Kono's embarrassing situation.

Not long after the battle began, Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, commander of the 15th Division, hit a mine on the outskirts of Lanxi and was killed, resulting in a disadvantage for the 15th Division and a great drop in morale. The newly appointed division commander Yamauchi Masafumi wanted to establish his prestige within the division as soon as possible and make the six wing commanders under him respect him, but on the other hand, he wanted to win the battle as soon as possible, so that the division and regiment could get out of the current decline, and he himself could establish military merits. Only by achieving impressive results in the war can Yamauchi Masafumi sit more firmly in the position of division commander and gain more support from the military leadership.

Therefore, in this battle of Quzhou, Yamauchi Masafumi and his 15th Division showed quite enthusiasm, surrounding the Quzhou battlefield and looking for a breakthrough from all sides.

Yamauchi Masafumi led his 60th and 67th infantry wings, as well as the 15th Engineer Wing, along the Wuxi River to search, and he also wanted to find a place where the current was not too rapid to cross the river. As a result, the place to cross the river was not found, but the desperate Kono Brigade was encountered.

"Lord Yamauchi!" When the commander of the Kono Brigade saw Yamauchi Masafumi, he ran over to salute the commander of the Yamauchi Division with trembling lips and tears in his eyes when he saw Yamauchi Masamumi.

"Kono-kun, what's wrong with you?" Lieutenant General Yamauchi looked at the commander of the Kono Brigade and frowned, you are also a senior officer in the imperial army, why do you look like this? Who bullied you?

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, we have encountered a stubborn resistance from the Chinese army here! The Yamaguchi Wing was also besieged by the superior forces of the Chinese army on the other side of the river, and was in danger. Please Lieutenant General Yamauchi for the sake of everyone being an imperial army, hurry up and send troops to the rescue! After saluting, Major General Kono took Lieutenant General Yamauchi's hand, and the tears in his eyes could not be stopped, and two lines of cloudy water droplets flowed down his face full of moles.

"Oh? Did the Yamaguchi United cross the river? Yamauchi Masamune was overjoyed when he heard this! He was worried that he couldn't find a place to cross the river, when he suddenly heard that there was a wing of Japanese troops crossing the river in this Kono Brigade, and the joy on Lieutenant General Yamauchi's face could not be concealed at that time, "Did they cross the river from here?" As he spoke, the commander of the Yamauchi division turned his head to look at the river, well, yes, the river here is much narrower than elsewhere, and if you want to cross the river, this is indeed a suitable place. However, the river here is so fast, how did the Yamaguchi United get through?

Thinking of the Yamaguchi United, Yamauchi Masafumi wanted to take the binoculars from his neck to look at the other side of the river, but both of his hands were held by Major General Kono, and he didn't even raise it when he raised it, "Kono-kun, what are you doing here?" Let go! Yamauchi Masamune pulled his hand back sharply, this Kono pulled it quite tightly, and he didn't withdraw his hand after withdrawing it!

"Let go! What are you pulling me for? Lieutenant General Yamauchi was a little annoyed. The commander of the Kono Brigade is stout, the muscles on his arms are hard, and the thin Yamauchi Masafumi is not his opponent at all, "Do you let go or not?" Guardsman! ”

The commander of the Kono Brigade shook Lieutenant General Yamauchi's hand painfully, and His Excellency Lieutenant General pulled his hand back again, and protested loudly, this guy didn't even show the slightest sign of letting go, what did he want to do? Do you want to make a personal attack on Lieutenant General Yamauchi? His Excellency, a frightened and angry lieutenant general, began to call out to the guards.

Five or six fierce devil soldiers immediately rushed out from the side, and they came here viciously. General Kono didn't come alone, he also brought guards, these devil soldiers looked at it, hey, you dare to be rude to our general? It doesn't matter if you are a lieutenant general or whatever, whoever dares to be disrespectful to the general is my enemy of life and death! Hula here also rushed over with several five big and three thick devils. Who says devils are small? The guards of these two generals are more than one meter six or five tall, and they are already considered to be big men!

Seeing that the guards on both sides were about to fight, the commander of the Kono Brigade suddenly let go of his hand. "Yamauchi, I'm sorry! Yes! I'm really sorry, please forgive me! Rear Admiral Kono bowed repeatedly and apologized.

Yamauchi Masafumi called the guards, he was trying hard to pull his hand out of Kono's clutches, Kono suddenly let go, Yamauchi Masafumi suddenly put his strength into the air, "Oh Oooo" took several steps back, his body shook, and he almost fell on his ass, but fortunately there were guards behind him to help him.

Just now, Yamauchi Masafumi turned his head to look at the other side of the river, and Kono followed him to look at the other side of the river. Yamauchi Masafumi looked at it for a while and then withdrew his eyes, Kono looked at it but lost his mind, he remembered the Yamaguchi Wing on the other bank, and he didn't know if Yamaguchi Heitaro was still alive now, let alone how many people were left in the Yamaguchi Wing, if there were too many casualties, he, the brigade commander, would not be able to explain!

Kono's distraction, the reaction of all sides was slow, Lieutenant General Yamauchi withdrew his hand, this subconsciously grabbed it, and when Yamauchi Masamune scolded angrily, Kono also understood. No one knows what this guy was thinking, anyway, he grabbed Lieutenant General Yamauchi's hand and didn't let go, until the guards on both sides were about to make a move, so he let go, and almost dropped Yamauchi Masamune!

If the commander of the Kono Brigade was trying to impress Lieutenant General Yamauchi, he did it. Seeing that Yamauchi Masawen's face was pale, and a pair of wolf eyes glared at Major General Kono with fierce light, "Kono-kun, now please tell me, what happened just now?" Why would you do that? ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Major General Kono bowed again and again in apology, "I was distracted just now, please forgive me!" ”

"Humph!" Lieutenant General Yamauchi was obviously not satisfied with the statement of the commander of the Kono Brigade, but he didn't plan to delve into it, this guy looked like he had lost the battle, crazy, how could His Excellency the Lieutenant General be as knowledgeable as a person of unsound mind?

"Your Excellency, the river is the narrowest here, and you can cross it by rubber boat from here. The Yamaguchi Wing went to the other side in a rubber boat. It's just that the Chinese army on the opposite side was too cunning and sank all the rubber boats used by our army to cross the river! Therefore, only the Yamaguchi Wing went to the other side of the river as the vanguard! Originally, I was going to build a raft to cross the river, but another Chinese army suddenly appeared and not only broke the raft I was about to build, but also killed most of my sappers! Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, please ask the military department to airdrop the rubber boat! My troops are willing to be the vanguard and go to the other side of the river to open the way for the 15th Division! ”

"Well, Kono-kun is right." Until this point, Lieutenant General Yamauchi finally gave the commander of the Kono Brigade a pleasant face, "It is a good way to ask the military headquarters to airdrop rubber boats and cross the river by boat!" However, there is no need for your brigade to be the vanguard, and the 60th Wing of the 15th Division is fully capable of the task of opening the way for the whole army! "It's a good idea to ask for a rubber boat, but you don't have to cross the river if your Kono brigade wants to cross the river first. Do you want to sink all the dinghy after passing over? Lieutenant General Yamauchi sternly rejected Major General Kono's unreasonable demands! "After our division crosses the river, your brigade can cross the river in the second batch of rubber boats."
