In Nanchang City, a team of police escorted the meal delivery personnel to deliver the night's extra meals to the outside of the city wall. This place was still about fifty or sixty meters away from the position.
"Okay, fellow man, thank you." A soldier accepted the food, then smiled at the person who delivered the food, "Go back and rest quickly."
"You must pay attention to safety! Defeat the little devil!"
"Okay." The soldier nodded, "Don't worry, as long as we are here, the Japanese will definitely not be able to get in."
"Well, let's go back then." The women who delivered the food turned around and left, while the patrol officers stayed.
"Little brother, do you want to help?" Watanabe Matsunobu smiled gently, looking at the flames of war in front of him, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. This smell made him intoxicated.
"No need, Captain Chen, you should go back quickly, we still have your patrols in the city." The soldier smiled, "We will take turns eating the meat and fight the Japanese."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Watanabe Matsunobu nodded, "There are other patrol teams in the city, let's help you distribute food."
"This? Okay, please excuse me." The soldier said immediately. At this time, their manpower was indeed relatively tight.
"You're welcome." Watanabe Matsunobu smiled, and then called on his subordinates to distribute the food to the first batch of soldiers who were rotated out. These soldiers were soldiers under Che Zhiheng.
Che Zhiheng also left the position. It was already very late. They had been fighting continuously for several hours. The high concentration and the hail of bullets made them very tired.
"Gou Sheng, you come and fill the soup." Watanabe Matsunobu immediately said, "Pack more meat for the soldiers!"
"Yes, Captain."
The soldiers who had been rotated lined up and began to receive food. Each person ate three large meat buns and a bowl of winter melon broth.
Che Zhiheng did not line up. As a regiment leader, he would have some privileges. However, at this moment, he was not in a very good mood. His soldiers had suffered heavy casualties. Who could stand up completely now?
But there were only seven or eight hundred people, and some of the others were injured and died.
"Come on, let's have something to eat." Li Jia brought a bowl of soup and steamed buns to Che Zhiheng.
Che Zhiheng nodded, took it, and said, "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Li Jia smiled and then went to get food.
Che Zhiheng drank the soup first, and then picked up all the meat in it and ate it. He didn't know how many times he had eaten like this without chopsticks. After drinking the soup, he began to concentrate on eating the meat buns, which he did for so long.
, he was also very hungry. The food in his mouth seemed to have no taste. Eating was just to maintain the energy needed by the body.
Watanabe Matsunobu, on the other hand, looked at the soldiers who had received the food and slowly ate it, and he smiled very happily.
…
Inside the Nanchang headquarters
Fang Shengli is still holding on, because the night attack consumes a lot of money, so Fang Shengli asks people to prepare extra meals, and the extra meals are not simple vegetarian meals, but all meals include meat.
"Assistant commander, the reserve troops are basically on several positions now." Lin Mingrun sorted out the telegram and said.
"Well, we all know what the Japanese are thinking. They are working hard to capture Nanchang. Otherwise, Nanchang will be a nail here and they will not be able to attack with all their strength." Fang Shengli nodded,
"The soldiers' food must be arranged well, and there must be no deductions. Night is a time of hardship, and the soldiers consume a lot of money fighting at night."
"Deputy Master, don't worry. From top to bottom in our independent division, we have never seen the word "deduction" before." Lin Mingrun said, "Besides, Mayor Liu and the others are also very dedicated to their duties. It's true. They are very dedicated."
"I know." Fang Shengli sighed, "But we are under great pressure. The attention of the people of the whole country has gathered here. If Nanchang is lost, we will not be able to redeem ourselves even if we die a hundred times."
At this time, Lin Mingrun took another look at Fang Shengli. Indeed, Fang Shengli was not in good spirits. His eyes were bloodshot and showed lack of sleep. Only then did he understand the pressure on Fang Shengli. The independent division had Zhou Weiguo with him.
, the others seemed to become less conspicuous, but, in fact, every commander or senior executive of the independent division was able to act independently.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Assistant commander, telegraph from the commander!"
Fang Shengli took it, looked at it, and handed it to Lin Mingrun, "Japs, I'm afraid there are reinforcements."
"What?" Lin Mingrun read the telegram, "Are the Japanese crazy? How many divisions are they going to use to capture Nanchang? Now there are already 10 divisions in Jiayongxiu, Nanchang, and they need to add more troops? This is no less than
There’s a big battle!”
Fang Shengli nodded and exhaled, "Give me the order and ask the brothers to pay attention to themselves. The tough ones are still behind."
"Yo Xi, order the warriors to retreat for the time being and give the Chinese people some time to eat." The Japanese Lieutenant General smiled. He only learned about the relevant plan today, and he was notified by his superiors to cooperate with it.
"Hi!"
…
Supporting Che Zhiheng and the others was a regiment from the 1st Nanchang Preparatory Brigade. The regiment leader was named Ye Mingzhou, who was a former battalion commander under Long Zhi.
"Tuanzu, the Japanese actually retreated."
Ye Mingzhou nodded and said, "I saw it. I guess the Japanese thought the casualties were too great and wanted to rest. After all, they haven't rested for a long time."
"That's right, group, the supper is here, let's go have something."
Ye Mingzhou nodded and said, "Okay, I will take the 4th, 5th and 6th battalions to eat. You watch the position. If there is any situation, shoot immediately."
"yes!"
…
Watanabe Matsunobu saw that many soldiers came to eat again, and the attack of the imperial warriors had temporarily retreated. He knew that it was the cooperation from outside, and then he loudly said, "Brothers, tonight's dinner is meat buns and broth.
Come here, everyone, have some hot soup and some hot food."
Some soldiers visibly swallowed their saliva after listening to Watanabe Matsunobu's words. The food of the Independent Division has always been good, but to supply food for so many soldiers, there is obviously a shortage of meat here in Nanchang. Now during the war,
There is no limit to the supply of meat. Eating meat was originally a very rare thing. Now, after they smelled the aroma and listened to Watanabe Matsunobu's words, body fluids began to secrete in an instant.
"Gou Sheng, Wang Er, Xiao Qi, hurry up and be quick! Pack delicious food for the brothers!"
"Yes, Captain."
Watanabe Matsunobu has set up 4 distribution points, so the distribution is quite fast.
…
Ye Mingzhou took the food, sat down next to Che Zhiheng, and said, "Captain Che."
"Captain Ye." Che Zhiheng was closing his eyes and taking a short rest.
"Captain Che, the Japanese have retreated temporarily."
"Yeah." Che Zhiheng nodded, "But I'm always a little uneasy. The Japs were so crazy last night. There's no reason why they would retreat temporarily today."
"It's normal to retreat for a while. After all, the Japanese are not strong men and they also need to rest." Ye Mingzhou advised.
"Yes." Che Zhiheng nodded helplessly. At this time, he didn't know what would happen next.
