Chapter 706: Retreat without fighting?
Although the sparks are still on the distant mountain, they look around and are everywhere.
Even a fool knows that under these little sparks, there are Chinese soldiers, and they know what they are doing.
They were actually surrounding here.
In a blatant manner, he surrounded an imperial army with more than 2,000 troops and thousands of peripheral troops.
When did the Chinese become so bold?
The imperial army was actually surrounded?
I don’t know if this is the first time for the imperial army. In the impression of Major General Kurosaki, who has always been advancing in North China and Southeast, the cliff is his first time.
At the point of being surrounded, as Tang Dao said, the Major General of the Imperial Japanese Army, a true little girl.
At this moment, my eyes were almost blinded by the torch that the Chinese were slaughtering.
No, perhaps the reason why the Japanese Army Major General and his eye poop solidified into a statue is not just that the Chinese are brave, nor that they are pink enough, but that they are terrified when thinking about it carefully.
The Chinese officer who could block him all day in Mouse Mountain and successfully attack the artillery brigade at night had already proved that he was a powerful and cunning opponent with his record.
But will such an opponent come to rescue his subordinates with great fanfare at the risk of being wiped out for no reason?
Yes, at the first glance of these sparks, Guoqian knew the intention of the Chinese people coming around in a crazy way.
It's just here to save people.
But this is definitely an irrational and almost crazy move.
More than 2,000 people under his command may not have been captured in the Chinese army that defended the mountain. However, if both sides are in a different place, the Chinese will need at least several times his troops to attack him. Even so, he will still receive air support from the navy. Even if the Chinese gather heavy troops, he believes that it will be just a bloody blow.
Even when he mobilized two troops, the main force of the Chinese may be the biggest possibility that he would not save people successfully, but to put himself all on the battlefield.
But the Chinese just did that.
This is illogical!
Or, there must be other logic here.
For example, they are confident that their two armies on the periphery cannot be mobilized, especially Takeuchi Yunshan's stupidity...
This thought had just risen, and Guoqian felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet up to the sky spirit cover.
"Order the entire army to enter the defense line immediately, and strengthen the fortifications in various places. The captains of the infantry squadrons must be vigilant, pay attention to observing the whereabouts of the Chinese, and wait for the military orders of the detachment!" Guoqian, who had been stunned for a long time, suppressed his anxiety, put down his telescope, and calmly ordered.
"Hi!" Chief of Staff Nakazo emphasized the focus.
Seeing that Kwanzaki looked ugly, he hesitated for a while and finally asked: "Captain, who is the Colonel Yunshan Takeuchi, are we again..."
The three infantry squads sent in the afternoon were like stones sinking to the sea, and no one has returned to report the news yet. The officers of the Guoqi Detachment actually knew that they were in danger.
"Continue to call with radio stations, there is no need to send reconnaissance vanguards to contact us. According to the formations set by the Chinese at this time, we may have underestimated their military strength. They have at least one infantry division or even more. The Imperial Army is not familiar with the mountains here, and the lack of troops will only increase casualties." Guoqian waved his hand with a pale face. "We can only wait for the navy and horses and lands to take off normally and bring us good news."
"Hi!" Chief of Staff Nakasa saw that Kōzaki was stunned and had nodded and turned around and left.
In fact, both of them knew it well, and I was afraid the situation was not optimistic, especially at the moment when the Chinese suddenly formed such a large formation in the early morning.
However, whether it is the cold-cold Kiyosaki who is still stunned or the Japanese Army Nakasa who is nervous, the worst case is that Takeuchi Yunshan's team has suffered heavy losses and has seriously declined in combat effectiveness. He would never have expected that Takeuchi Yunshan's infantry corps have been destroyed. Even Takeuchi Yunshan, the army colonel, was posed in 18 postures for Chinese military reporters to "take photos and so on", and in the future it will become an extremely important historical material for war history in the Chinese Military Museum.
After three hours of experiencing the luck of being in trouble, Kurosaki was completely crushed.
First of all, the middle army he mobilized was unable to move.
At the moment when the sun was just rising, the Chinese completed a terrifying explosion on the way to the cross paved road that had just assembled the middle army.
The entire cliff was blown up, and thousands of tons of rocks blocked the mountain road. It was not impossible to pass through it. The entire army must abandon all the baggage and throw away all the artillery.
To put it bluntly, only people can crawl over.
Is the infantry without artillery still the invincible imperial infantry? Through the battlefield in the southern Anhui mountainous areas, Guoqian understood that the cliff was not the case.
In front of this cunning and tenacious Chinese army, even if there is a cannon, you may not be able to win, let alone without a cannon.
Moreover, the artillery brigade that was borrowed from the 36th Infantry Brigade was already the last resort of the Guoqi Detachment. If it was thrown away, I'm afraid the Chinese would really be unscrupulous to him.
In desperation, he could only order his middle army to be vigilant and stationed on the spot. It doesn't matter if he can't participate in the decisive battle with the Chinese, but don't be ambushed by the Chinese.
The only thing that comforted Kurosaki this news was that the Chinese did not blast the cliffs during the process of the army's advance, otherwise, thousands of tons of large stones would be smashed down, and countless Imperial Army would bury their bones here.
Of course, the Chinese people also want it, but the facts do not allow it!
First, the commander of this Japanese army was as cautious as a frightened bird, sending as many as four infantry squads to explore the way, which was 1,000 meters away from the main force of the slow marching. If he accidentally did not only destroy the Japanese's plan with a stone, he would also fall into a siege.
Because there were only four Chinese soldiers who were going to block the Japanese army's middle route from moving forward.
Gu Xishui and Niu Er's special battle group were equipped with 15 mountain men responsible for carrying explosives.
Seeing that the Japanese army was so cautious, Gu Xishui made a quick decision to give up the unrealistic idea of bombing the Japanese troops and immediately detonated 200 kilograms of explosives buried in the cliff, blowing up half of the hillside on the adjacent roadside, and falling a large amount of rocks, dividing the simple road from Guangde County to Wuhu into two.
The Japanese army wanted to clear out the stones on the road and open them to the extent that they could pass through the carriages and cars. Not to mention a few hours, even if they were given two days, it might not work.
In other words, Tang Dao completely restrained the Japanese army with more than 2,000 troops and a large amount of baggage, and only sent 4 elite soldiers to do it.
Although both sides have not lost their losses, this Duizi, the independent camp, is simply too advantageous.
Of course, for Kiyoshiki, even if his middle army cannot come, it will not make him afraid. He still has more than 2,000 main troops and the remnants of Takeuchi Yunshan. Even if he left him with 1,000 and more than 3,000 imperial infantry, it would be enough to withstand the 8,000 Chinese.
This was because Guoqian took the initiative to lower the combat ratio against the Chinese army. Half a month ago, he would have dared to say that 20,000 Chinese people were.
Navy Ma Lu did not disappoint him this time. Although the fog was still heavy, the Navy took the risk of taking off a reconnaissance plane at the urging of the 10th Army Command.
So, Major General Kurosaki, who received this good news and was full of expectations, received bad news that was unbelievable one and a half hours later.
The naval reconnaissance plane reported that in a river valley a few kilometers away from the battlefield, the battlefield was discovered after the fierce battle, and driven by curiosity, he took the risk to jump into a low altitude of 300 meters, and found a large number of neatly arranged fruit corpses.
After several consecutive hovering and observing at low altitudes, I finally had to regretfully tell the Army idiots that as many as 2,000 corpses can only belong to the Imperial Army.
A few corpses wearing yellow military uniforms but whimpered in their blood proved their identity.
As for why the large amount of remains are barefoot, without the detailed description of the Japanese Navy pilots, the stunned generals of the 10th Army Command also knew that it must be cotton coats and became the spoils of the Chinese army.
The remains of many Chinese soldiers have shown that those Chinese soldiers from the south have even gone to the battlefield without even being equipped with winter clothes. Suddenly, they have cold-proof clothes. No matter how disgusting they are, it is better than freezing to death by themselves!
'After naval reconnaissance, the entire Takeuchi Yunshan tribe was broken!'Kuozaki was incredibly holding the telegram sent by the 10th Army Command and read it over and over again several times before he believed this fact.
No wonder the Chinese dared to attack, Guoqian finally got the answer.
Although it was the answer he least wanted to face.
"Baga! Baga! All Chinese people are dead." The roar of Kwanzaki in the military tent made the Japanese officers standing more than ten meters away silent.
"Chinese people, what are they doing?" After a long time, Guozaki finally calmed down and asked in a daze.
"Your Excellency the Captain, they are digging fortifications frantically and have not launched an attack. I think they are quite concerned about our position." Chief of Staff of Nakazo hurriedly reported.
The words have not ended.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A violent shelling sounded suddenly.
Bunches of gunpowder rose around the artillery positions in the distance.
The four mountain cannons from Pang Dahai's mountain cannon platoon gave the brigade-level Chief of Staff, a loud slap.
The whole audience was quiet.
Guozaki walked out of the field tent, his face pale like a dead person.
"Transfer my order. The 3rd and 8th Infantry Brigade each draw out an infantry squadron and heavy machine gun squadron, and send two infantry artillery squadrons to accompany them, and advance to the south with all their might. If the Chinese army blocks it, charge immediately. The other infantry squadrons will hold their positions and wait for subsequent orders." Guoqian looked at the black smoke rising from his artillery positions and gave a cold order.
Is this, retreat? Breakthrough?
Chapter completed!
