January 23rd at 5:30 am!

Standing in the valley, watching the imperial officers and soldiers lined up, Major General Yihara, who had always been strong, burst into tears.

The 7,000-man detachment, which was originally strong and powerful, now only 1,400 people can stand in front of him, and there are 600 wounded soldiers, totaling only 2,000 people.

There were 5,000 people, who were all left in front of the Chinese highlands after yesterday's battle.

When the end of yesterday evening, Yiyuan Shinogu knew that he could no longer capture the high ground of the Chinese. Even though he felt that at least several high ground of the Chinese were already shaking, he would definitely be able to capture it as long as he invested a certain amount of troops.

But no matter how good he was, he knew that he could not do that. The result of doing that would be that the entire detachment would be destroyed in this unknown valley.

This is also the wisest decision made by Yiyuan Yiyuan of Neigu on the Sifang Bay battlefield. After the Neigu Detachment sacrificed his life to capture, although the Tang regiment had sent two infantry companies of the 4th Battalion, he had not yet dispatched the final reserve team of the Guard Company. Once these 200 elite troops were released, the last 1,400 people of the Neigu Detachment were not enough.

"Although this battle was defeated, our detachment also caused heavy losses to the enemy's unit and was unable to support the Shipai Central battlefield. We have planned to seriously injured officers and soldiers in the detachment. Our detachment will temporarily evacuate the battlefield and rest. In the future, we will find a fighter opportunity to fight the remaining enemy troops here again, and we will be destroyed!" In the dawn of dawn, the major general of the Japanese Army who wiped away the tears on his face finally stabilized his mood and encouraged the remnants of his detachment.

A big defeat was interpreted by the Japanese Army Major General as a failure. The evacuation was not something that could not be defeated, but that 600 seriously injured soldiers survived.

This reason is actually tenable. Just yesterday, half of the seriously injured soldiers who were injured on the front line died. Nearly 500 wounded soldiers stopped breathing amid the deafening sound of gunfire due to lack of hemostatic drugs.

The Chinese bombardment of the baggage troops not only involved the issue of eating, but also destroyed most of the stored drugs. Less than one-third of the wounded soldiers who had exceeded 1,000 can be treated in time.

The Japanese infantry standing neatly in the valley were full of humiliation, but deep in their eyes were filled with relief.

They all knew very well that although this battle was defeated, the Major General's detachment leader was finally going to withdraw his troops. At least they could still live, unlike their colleagues who were still in the enemy's high ground.

Originally, the Japanese army had the habit of restraining the wreckage on the battlefield, but the Chinese who were also red-eyed did not allow it at all. If they wanted to pull a corpse back, they often had to pay the price of one or even a few people. After trying it a few times, commanders at all levels, including Yiyuan Shinya, also gave up this "stupid" behavior.

The Imperial Army, who have won the overall battle situation, can take back the remains after the Battle of Shipai!

Under the order of Yiyuan Shinya, the Japanese infantry abandoned most of the baggage except for carrying one-day military rations and necessary ammunition.

Although the remaining five mountain cannons were dismantled into several pieces and transported by pack horses, the shells were only a pitiful less than 60 rounds. All the damaged heavy machine guns were discarded, and even the few pack horses tied with towels on their four hooves and mouth and noses. This was to prevent the pack horse from neighing and sounding horse hooves.

To put it bluntly, this has nothing to do with the so-called evacuation, and the main focus is to run away quietly.

From the Sifang Bay battlefield to the flank of the Zhujiaping battlefield they detoured, there is still 12 kilometers of mountain road. When we come, we will probably have to rush for most of the day when we are so heavy-armed. Moreover, there are more than 600 seriously injured soldiers who need to be carried back on stretchers.

Yiyuan of Shigu did not waste much time. After briefly encouraging the remaining soldiers, at 5:35 in the morning, the remaining members of Shigu Detachment quietly left the valley in an orderly manner and returned along the original route.

That scene was miserable. Not to mention the comparison between the strong and powerful soldiers and horses who came here, just say that now, there are 1,400 people, including nearly a thousand, and two people, carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher. Some of the lesser injuries were hung on the back of the pack horse in cloth bags. Even if the wound hurts even more when it is bumpy on the mountain road, the wounded soldiers will bite towels and prevent themselves from making any sound.

The Needle Valley Detachment had already consumed all its blood bravery yesterday. At this time, they just wanted to be a quiet scumbag who ran away.

If it were other Chinese troops, it would be a blessing to be able to defend their positions under such a terrible attack. How could they still compete with the remnants of the Japanese army?

But the Needle Valley Detachment unfortunately met the Four-Road Group, and even more unfortunately, there was a Chinese commander with a soul from the future. No one could let go of the beasts that were massacred.

In the dense forest hundreds of meters away on the Needle Valley Detachment's escape route, at least more than 20 pairs of eyes were staring at them.

Tang Guozun never thought of letting these 2,000 soldiers of the Needle Valley Detachment go. Moreover, the bait is so fragrant that he doesn't believe that the Japanese would be willing to let the 2,000 Japanese soldiers die on their own, especially with Yokoyama's extremely proud personality.

"According to the original plan, the 4th Battalion intercepted the Japanese army layer by layer on the high ground along the way. The 1st Battalion drew 3 platoons and the guard company drew 2 platoons. In addition, the Special Battalion, the Engineer Battalion, and the Battalion drew one platoon as a reserve team to trap the Needle Valley Detachment in this mountainous area." Tang Dao stared at the sand table, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Every department has remembered it for me. Without my orders, I will not take the initiative to attack. This time I will save some bullets and starve these dog-goers to death in this mountain!"

The Needle Valley Detachment only walked less than five kilometers before it encountered the first wave of attacks. Two Chinese infantry squads occupying a mountain peak above an altitude of more than 400 meters, blocking the mountain road with rifles and machine guns.

In order to avoid being entangled by the Chinese, Yiyuan Yiyuan decisively put down about 120 infantry and Chinese soldiers, and the main force, led by the reconnaissance vanguard, crossed the mountains and detoured.

At this time, the Japanese infantry were still glad that their major general captain was decisive and gave up the light equipment of a large amount of supplies, so that they could not fight against the Chinese soldiers who had geographical advantages because they had to walk the mountain road.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it is very hard, survival is the most important thing at the moment.

However, sadly, the Chinese forests are not that easy to enter. They actually encountered a minefield deep in the dense forest.

That is the masterpiece of the reconnaissance platoon of Shen Laoliu of the Reconnaissance Company!

As early as yesterday's battle ended, Tang Dao judged that the remnants of the Japanese army would inevitably run away, Shen Laoliu judged based on the terrain that when the Japanese army was attacked at the corner of this mountain road, he would inevitably choose to give up the force attack and take a detour, and crossing the mountains became their first choice.

He took his brothers who were reconnaissance platoon overnight to plant more than 60 anti-infantry thunders in this mountain forest.

The Needle Valley Detachment originally carried several mine detectors for detecting metal, but Yiyuan of Needle Valley ordered that all unnecessary supplies be abandoned, and the engineers responsible for carrying the wounded would bring these things.

When the first anti-infantry thunder blew up two Japanese troops into the grass, the Japanese who followed up closed their eyes in pain.

The Chinese are so vicious that they even buried mines in the mountains where they live. Do they not want to walk through this forest in the future, right?

Do you think this human nature is ridiculous? When victory, the Japanese will say that the Chinese are not worthy of owning this fertile land. When they encounter failure, they will start to complain that the Chinese are not moral and even lay vicious minefields on their own land.

For China at present, where there are Japanese people is the battlefield. Since it is a battlefield, what else will you consider in the future? Let’s kill the enemy first.

In the future, only the winners deserve it!

"I need the Imperial Warriors to breeze a way for the entire detachment!" Major General Yihara, who rushed to the edge of the minefield, was so decisive that he caused the Japanese army to feel cold.

The sudden blockage and minefields made Yiyuan Yiyuan feel a strong sense of crisis. He had reason to infer that the Chinese were slowing down his marching speed, and what was the intention of slowing down his marching speed was almost about to emerge.

After the firepower intensity shown by China in yesterday's battle, Yiyuan Kazuya has completely lost confidence in breaking the opponent's position, even if the opponent may not have particularly perfect fortifications.

Yihara Neigu could not make the Neigu Detachment the first unit in the Imperial dispatched army to be destroyed by the scale of a detachment, which would be a shame to the entire imperial army.

So, he needs to sacrifice a few people to save most of them.

Fortunately, there are no shortage of brave people in the Japanese army. Under the earnest gaze of Major General Yihara, nearly ten stupid eggs stood up bravely.

"I will tell your heroic deeds to your family, and the empire will not forget your sacrifice." Yiyuan Shingu was extremely moved, and his eyes were filled with tears and encouraged the ten people who were about to die under the command of the cannon.

"Long live the empire!" A Japanese army shouted a slogan and rushed forward bravely.

He ran for more than twenty meters in the grass in one breath, without the explosion he had imagined. The Japanese infantry, who stopped and gasped but had a happy face, looked back at his colleagues lying on the ground, waved his hands excitedly and was about to shout something.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang.

After the smoke of gunpowder, the Japanese infantry whose legs were broken from their knees were screaming in pain.

If he hadn't been too excited and moved 20 centimeters to the side, the small anti-infantry thunder might not have triggered.

But obviously, his good luck ended here.

"Bang!" With a gunshot, the Japanese army screaming in pain trembled violently, their voices turned from high to low, and finally fell completely silent.

"Continue!" The Japanese Army Major General who had a warm look on his face just now, but at this moment, he waved his hand and ordered the guards beside him to shoot.

He knew that if this continued, without the Chinese surrounding him, the morale of his thousand-man figures would completely collapse, and it might turn into a defeat at any time.

In a mountain with such a complex environment, defeat means death.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A Japanese soldier walked towards the minefield with tears in his eyes in his eyes.

There were no survivors because all the Japanese infantry whose legs were blown off were shot and killed by the guards beside Yiyuan Kamiya with precise gunshots.

He could not let the screams resounding through the mountains and forests hit the morale of the army again, anyway, the injured soldiers who suffered severe injuries would not survive in such an environment.

However, everyone knows the truth, but the so-called "Bun" is dead and fox is sad. Seeing that the detachment leader treats the imperial warriors who sacrificed their lives to fight, the morale of the Japanese infantry will inevitably fall to the bottom.

If an army appears at this time, even if it is an infantry company, it will launch an assault on more than a thousand people whose morale is already at its peak, and it will be extremely likely to completely defeat it.

However, this does not conform to the style of Tang Tuanzuo, and he wants to maximize his interests.

Not only did he want to siege the 2,000 Japanese invaders, he also wanted to let the Japanese army on the outside know that there were 2,000 Japanese here, and whether to save them depends on their choice.

"The Japanese are quite ruthless, they actually use meat bullet tactics!" Shen Laoliu, who was lying in the grass 600 meters away, was also shocked by the Japanese army's operations.

The order he received was to try his best to slow down the Japanese army's march. After thinking about it, he felt that it was the most convenient to lay mines. Then Cheng Xiang Yiyuan used this trick to break the area he had been thinking about and designed and the hard work he had done for most of the night.

"The Japanese have started marching again. The platoon leader, should we gather all the platoon brothers to do it? The company commander just informed me that the brothers from the guard company and the engineer company were urgently building fortifications 1,000 meters ahead. Do we have to buy them some time?" Cao Yingchong came over quietly and asked.

"You kid is still the mind of the guys in the infantry battalion. He always gathers a large number of people to do it. Who are we? We are the reconnaissance company, and we do the job of stabbing people and slapping them." Shen Laoliu grinned and 'teached' his deputy platoon leader.

"Tell me, according to the previous reconnaissance team, if you can do the Japanese, you can shoot one shot at a time, then you can do it. Don't be in love with the fight, and you can just take advantage of it. The sniper aims at the Japanese officers and fights it. It doesn't matter if the Japanese officers don't wear woolen coats. As long as there are many Japanese soldiers around you, they are the officers, just fight me."

The Needle Valley Detachment, which paid 16 people in succession, finally broke out of the minefield, encountered another group of "rogues".

The Chinese hid in the corner of the forest at least 400 meters away from their marching route. They either shot you or shot you with a machine gun. When your grenade launcher hits you, they would have slipped away long ago.

Although the losses paid in this way are not large, he is scary!

Especially the Japanese officers at all levels were even more terrified at this moment.

Even though they all changed into military uniforms like ordinary infantry under the request of military orders, put on heavy cowhide boots, white gloves, command knives and horse boots, the Chinese seemed to recognize them. In this marching less than a mile, six officers were shot and killed in more than a dozen attacks launched by the Chinese, one of them was the captain of the squadron level, and under the protection of six guards, he was accurately hit by a fire under the ribs. He struggled in pain for more than ten minutes before he was completely exhausted.

"The Chinese are not distinguished by military uniforms, they should be based on the number of guards around them. All officers and guards are far away and keep marching normally." Yiyuan Shin's mind is enough. After receiving several reports of accurate shootings by officers, he quickly responded.

However, it is easier said than done. Even though they knew that there were Chinese people hiding in the mountains and forests to attack from a long distance, there was no one around to block the gun. Who would dare to do it? The older the official, the less they dared to leave alone. For them, what is the difference between having no guards and walking naked in the snow?

I was afraid of death and didn't want to be regarded as a target. I didn't seem to have any other way except to send more vanguards to guard the periphery of the march.

Although Yihara Shinji was so anxious that two fire sores appeared on his mouth, the marching speed could not be accelerated. After only a kilometer distance, the Needle Shinji Detachment carrying the wounded soldiers actually walked for an hour and a half.

In addition to the extremely difficult marching in the mountains and forests, the attacks of more than 20 reconnaissance teams deployed by Shen Laoliu in the surrounding mountainous areas played a key role.

Then, the tragic Needle Valley Detachment walked to Mopanling, which was called the "last look up to the Needle Valley Detachment" after the war.

This is a mountain with a height of not high but extremely steep. When the Needle Valley Detachment arrived at Sifang Bay, it passed here. The mountain road winded down the ridge. For those on Mopanling, even if there is a mouse on the mountain road, it can be seen clearly.

If you want to pass here, except for that mountain road, unless you turn into a monkey, you can climb a cliff with a slope of nearly 80 degrees and climb up the 420-meter-high mountain.

But obviously, let alone people cannot become monkeys, even if they are real monkeys, they will have no chance to face the 160 Chinese soldiers with guns and live ammunition that suddenly appeared on Mopanling.

When the Needle Valley Detachment quickly embarked on this path, four MG42 machine guns from the mountains suddenly fired, and more than 400 Japanese soldiers who were the first to fire were instantly overturned.

As the four tongues of fire sweep back and forth, the once extremely ferocious Japanese infantry were like newborn babies, being shot and killed one by one on the mountain road without resistance.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Yiyuan Yiyuan was as stupid as a wooden chicken. It was not until more than ten seconds later that the entire army was ordered to withdraw.
