"Quick! Send a telegram to headquarters immediately! We have encountered the main force of the Chinese! Requesting support!"
Inside the logistics company's encampment, the Japanese captain, Nagasawa, stood beside the telegraph machine, roaring at the operator in an extreme state of agitation.

His unit was not a combat outfit, but a logistics unit responsible for transporting supplies, composed entirely of the sons of Japanese elites, and possessed almost zero combat effectiveness. Under this intense bombardment, there was no telling how many of his men had already been killed. A profound sense of dread loomed over the captain, impossible to shake.
