Chapter 927 I’m Afraid You Didn’t Ask
"Hurry up, hurry up! Count carefully and handle with care!"
"Everything has to be registered clearly, not a single box or bag can be wrong. If anyone makes a mistake, I'll have their head taken!"
Jiangcheng Wharf.
The supplies that were shipped upstream from Nanjing finally arrived at the port.
Lin Ze and Shigeto Kenfumi came in person to check the warehousing situation.
After spending a few days together, Shigeto felt both admiration and awe for Lin Ze.
First of all, Lin Ze is more than 20 years younger than him, but he is a colonel, and Lin Ze is also a colonel.
The most important thing is that Lin Ze is Chinese and he is a patrolman.
What does this mean?
It shows that he has a powerful background!
This point is also reflected in Lin Ze's words and deeds. When the two chatted, Lin Ze often talked about how great the generals were, how great the headquarters was, and even talked about what happened to His Majesty the Emperor at a certain imperial meeting.
This stunned Shigeto. What Lin Ze said was very convincing. Although Shigeto didn't know the inside story, he still had some judgment. He felt that what Lin Ze said was 80% true.
This is terrible!
"Lin Jun, are you hot? Do you want to go and rest first? I'll just watch over you here."
"Hey, Shigeto-kun, inspecting the supplies is my responsibility. I'm sorry for asking you to accompany me. How can I put all the pressure on you?"
Shigeto flattered, "Mr. Lin did it himself, which is admirable."
He was determined to make friends with Lin Ze, so he took the initiative to say, "Mr. Lin has been traveling a lot these past two days. Have you had a rest these past two days? I wonder what type of girl Mr. Lin likes..."
Lin Ze smiled knowingly, "To be honest with you, Shigeto-kun, I think Zhu Wanyao is pretty good."
Shigeto was a bit embarrassed. "Lin Jun, this Zhu Wanyao... ahem, her father is the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, so it's not convenient to mess around with her. Why don't you try to find someone else? I think Zhen Xiaorui is pretty good. She has fair skin and a nice voice."
Lin Ze was surprised and said, "This woman is quite chaste. Some people like to tame wild horses, but I don't. I like gentle and obedient ones..."
Shigeto explained: "Lin Jun, it's not like that..."
Lin Ze interrupted him, "When I was in Yuancheng, someone arranged for a nurse to accompany the army. I wonder if our 11th Army..."
Shigeto was speechless, yet also somewhat happy.
I'm not afraid of you making requests, I'm just afraid of you not making any requests!
But this Lin Jun is really troublesome. There are not many female nurses accompanying the army on the front line, and Lin Jun's requirements must be very high. She has to be beautiful and clean, so I have to put in some effort.
But if this can make Lin Jun happy, maybe we can have more cooperation in the future, so it will be worth it.
That night, Shigeto sent two military nurses to examine Lin Ze.
Lin Ze called out "Yao Xi" and praised Shigeto for his boldness and generosity in giving away two at once.
The Sakura girl nurses are very gentle. They wear uniforms and say "excuse me" all the time.
...........
After the first batch of supplies arrived, they began to be transported to the front-line troops.
Lin Ze also became busy. He had to supervise the distribution of supplies and at the same time ensure that Shigeto's people only took 30% and sold it, and no more.
Shigeto accompanied Lin Ze to the 6th Division stationed on the Dayun Mountain front to check the situation, and he was also warmly received.
Naturally, I kept the Japanese deployment in mind along the way.
Judging from the distribution of troops, Anami Korechika divided his troops into two lines, the east and the west, but the distance between the two lines was not far.
The Sixth Division is located in Dayun Mountain, and to the south of Dayun Mountain is the defense line built by the Ninth War Zone.
From Dayun Mountain to the west are the Japanese 3rd Division, 4th Division and two detachments of the 40th Division.
There are more troops here because to the south of Xinkaitang where the Japanese are stationed is the Xinqiang River, and the south bank of the Xinqiang River is the first line of defense carefully arranged by the Ninth War Zone.
Judging from this formation, the Japanese should be using the tactic of breaking through the middle.
But Lin Ze was cautious. He keenly discovered that after deducting 30%, the remaining supplies should have all been transported to the front line, but some of them were still left in Yueyang.
He feigned anger and said, "Shigeto-kun, what do you mean by this? We've already agreed that we'll take what we should take and not take what we shouldn't. We'll share 30% of the profits. I've already taken a huge risk, so why are you keeping some of it? Please don't make things difficult for me!"
Seeing that he was angry, Shigeto quickly explained, "Lin Jun misunderstood. The supplies that were left behind have other uses."
Lin Ze snorted coldly, "Shigeto-kun, do you think I have a bad memory? In the past two days, we have lost four divisions and two detachments. The military supplies in various places have been replenished. What's the point of leaving some behind?"
Shigeto had no choice but to explain in a low voice, "Lin Jun, this matter must be kept secret. We've reached a cooperation with the navy. A group of ships will be heading up the lava and then enter Dongting Lake from Yueyang. At that time, the Hirano and Hayabuchi detachments will board the ships and head south."
Lin Ze was skeptical. "Don't try to fool me, Shigeto-kun. The main army is on the north bank. Why would two detachments embark on ships and head south? The south bank is full of enemy troops. If we rashly go ashore, won't we be surrounded?"
Shigeto smiled and said, "That's what I thought at first, but Lieutenant General Anan has his own plans. These two detachments are not prepared for the Xinqiang River position. The general plans to use aircraft bombing, and then mechanized troops to assault, breaking through the Xinqiang River as quickly as possible, and then heading straight to the Miluo River. At that time, the Hirano Detachment and the Zaoyuan Detachment will land in the Xiangyin area to pin down the enemy and make them attacked from both sides. Among the several lines of defense built by the Ninth War Zone, the Miluo River is the most stringent. As long as our army crosses the Miluo River, the Laodao River will be within our grasp. After crossing the Laodao River, Xingcheng will be completely in our hands!"
wipe!
This Anami Korechika's fighting style is much better than Okamura's!
Two years ago, when Okamura commanded the first Battle of Star City, he adopted the strategy of rushing attack and abandoning the two wings.
Because the Japanese were winning victory after victory at that time, they believed that even if the Ninth War Zone had hundreds of thousands of troops, they would definitely retreat under the fierce attack. As long as they occupied Xingcheng as quickly as possible, they could calmly turn around and sweep away the remaining troops on both wings.
The fight went smoothly at the beginning, but then variables appeared.
The variable is Xiao Wang’s father.
Xiao Wang's father actually blocked two divisions of the Japanese army in Gao'an, preventing them from providing timely support to the troops that had already rushed to Xingcheng. In the end, the surprise attack turned into a stalemate, and the Japanese army was even surrounded at one point.
The final result was that the Japanese soldiers in the front were surrounded by heavy troops, but their weapons and equipment and the quality of their troops were indeed too strong, and they finally broke through successfully.
Even so, the Japanese strategic plan still failed, and Okamura ordered a retreat.
It is said that when the Japanese retreated, even Xue Lao Hu could not believe it.
By the time they reacted, it was too late. They could no longer catch up with the enemy and could only let most of the Japanese troops cross the Miluo River and retreat north, missing the opportunity to kill a large number of enemies.
This time, Anami Korechika obviously learned his lesson. Not only did he want to break through from the front, he also launched a flank attack!
