Although the little sparks are still on the mountains in the distance, looking around, they are in all directions.
Even a fool knows that underneath these sparks are Chinese soldiers and they know what they are doing.
They are actually surrounding us.
They majestically 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 one day?
I don’t know if this is the first time for the imperial army, but in the impression of Major General Kunizaki, who has always made great progress in the battlefields of North China and Southeast China, the cliff is his first time.
In terms of being surrounded, just like Tang Dao said, Your Excellency, Major General of the Imperial Japanese Army, is a proper little girl.
At this moment, my eyes were almost blinded by the torches held by the Chinese in a grand manner.
No, perhaps the reason why the Japanese Army Major General solidified into a statue along with his eye excrement is not just that the Chinese are timid, nor is it that they are pink enough, but that if you think about it, you are extremely frightened.
The Chinese officer who was able to hold him off for a whole day at Mouse Mountain and successfully attack the artillery brigade at night and blow up more than a dozen cannons had already proven with his record that he was a strong and cunning opponent...
But would such an opponent come to rescue his subordinates with great fanfare at the risk of annihilation for no reason?
Yes, when he saw these sparks for the first time, Kunizaki knew the intention of the Chinese people who came madly around them.
I'm just here to save people.
But this is definitely an irrational and almost crazy move.
The more than 2,000 people under his command may not be able to attack the Chinese army that is entrenched on the mountain. But if the two sides change places, if the Chinese want to attack him, they will need at least several times his strength. Even so, he still has
There will be air support from the navy. Even if the Chinese gather a large number of troops, he believes that they will only get a bloody blow.
Even if they mobilize two troops, the Chinese main force may not succeed in saving people, but may be trapped in the battlefield themselves.
But the Chinese just did it.
This is illogical!
Or, there must be other logic here.
For example, they were confident that they could not mobilize the two armies on the periphery, especially the stupid one Takeuchi Yunshan.
As soon as this idea came to mind, Kunizaki felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the sky.
"Order the entire army to immediately enter the defense line and reinforce various fortifications at the same time. Each infantry squadron leader must be more vigilant, pay attention to the whereabouts of the Chinese, and wait for military orders from the detachment headquarters!" Kunizaki, who had been dazed for a while, suppressed his uneasiness.
, put down the telescope and calmly ordered.
"Hi!" The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff nodded heavily.
Seeing that Kunizaki was stunned and looked ugly, he hesitated for a while and finally asked: "Your Excellency, detachment leader, are we going to go to Colonel Takeuchi Unzan again?"
The three infantry detachments dispatched in the afternoon were like nothing, and no one has returned to report so far. The officers of the Kunisaki detachment actually already know that they are in danger.
"Continue to use the radio to make calls. There is no need to send out reconnaissance leaders to contact us. Based on the Chinese's current position, I'm afraid we have underestimated their military strength. They have at least one infantry division or even more. The Imperial Army is very concerned about the mountainous terrain here.
The situation is unfamiliar, and the lack of troops will only increase casualties." Kunizaki waved his hands with a pale face. "We can only wait for the navy and the mainland to take off normally and bring us good news."
"Hi!" Seeing that Kunizaki was stunned and made up his mind, the Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff could only nod and turn around to leave.
In fact, both of them knew very well that the situation was probably not optimistic, especially at this moment when the Chinese suddenly put up such a large array in the early morning.
However, whether it was Kunizaki, who was cold all over, or the Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel, who was extremely worried, the worst-case scenario was that the Takeuchi Unzan Division would suffer heavy losses and a serious decline in combat effectiveness, and they would never have thought that the Takeuchi Unzan Infantry Regiment had already suffered heavy losses.
After being wiped out in ashes, even Takeuchi Yunshan, an army commander, was put into eighteen different poses for Chinese military reporters to "take pictures" of. In the future, it became an extremely important war history material in the Chinese Military Museum.
Kunizaki's luck was completely shattered after three hours of sitting on pins and needles.
First of all, the central army he mobilized could not move.
At the moment when the sun was just rising, the Chinese completed a terrifying explosion on the way to the cross pavilion of the newly assembled central army.
The entire mountain cliff was blown across, and thousands of tons of rocks blocked the mountain road. It was not impossible to pass through it. The entire army had to abandon all their baggage and throw away all their artillery.
To put it bluntly, only people can climb through.
Is infantry without artillery still the invincible imperial infantry? After passing the battlefield in the mountains of southern Anhui, Kunizaki suddenly understood that the cliff was no longer there.
In the face of this cunning and tenacious Chinese army, even if they have artillery, they may not be able to win, let alone without artillery.
Moreover, the artillery brigade borrowed from the 36th Infantry Brigade is already the last support of his Kunisaki detachment. If all of them are thrown away, I am afraid that the Chinese will really be able to deal with him unscrupulously.
In desperation, he could only order his army in the middle to be more vigilant and stationed in place. It didn't matter that they couldn't participate in the decisive battle with the Chinese, but they would be doomed if they were not ambushed by the Chinese.
The only thing that comforted Kunisaki about this news was that the Chinese had not blasted the cliff while the army was marching. Otherwise, thousands of tons of large rocks would have fallen down, and the bones of countless Imperial Army troops would have been buried here.
Of course the Chinese want it too, but the facts don’t allow it!
First, the commander of this Japanese army was as cautious as a frightened bird. He sent out as many as four infantry squads to explore the way. The distance from the main slowly marching force was as far as 1,000 meters. By accident, not only did his plan to crush the Japanese with stones fail,
If it is empty, you will be trapped in a tight siege.
Because there were only four Chinese soldiers in total who came to block the advance of the Japanese army in the middle.
Gu Xishui and Niu Er's special battle group 1, plus 15 mountain men responsible for carrying explosives.
Seeing that the Japanese army was so cautious, Gu Xishui immediately gave 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 hilltop adjacent to the roadside. A large number of rocks fell, destroying the mountain.
A simple road from Guangde County to Wuhu is divided into two.
The Japanese army wanted to clear the stones on the road and open it up to the point where carriages and cars could pass. Let alone a few hours, even if they were given two days, it might not be possible.
In other words, Tang Dao completely contained the Japanese army, which had more than 2,000 troops and a large amount of baggage, by sending only 4 elite soldiers.
Although no one on either side was harmed, the independent camp simply shouldn't take advantage of this exchange.
Of course, for Kunisaki, even if his middle army cannot come, it will not scare him. He still has a main force of more than 2,000 people and the remnants of Takeuchi Yunshan, even if he only has 1,000 people left.
, the imperial infantry of more than 3,000 people is enough to withstand 8,000 Chinese.
This is because Kunizaki took the initiative to lower the combat ratio against the Chinese army. Half a month ago, he even dared to say 20,000 Chinese.
The Navy and Mali did not disappoint him this time. Although the fog was still thick, the Navy took the risk and took off a reconnaissance plane at the urging of the Tenth Army Headquarters.
So, Major General Kunisaki, who had received the good news and was full of expectations, received the unbelievable bad news an hour and a half later.
The navy reconnaissance plane reported that it found the battlefield after a fierce battle in a river valley a few kilometers away from the battlefield. Driven by curiosity, it took the risk to jump to a low altitude of 300 meters and found a large number of neatly arranged fruit corpses.
.
After several consecutive low-altitude observations, I finally had to regretfully tell the army idiots that the two thousand corpses could only belong to the Imperial Army.
A few corpses wearing shit-yellow military uniforms but dripping with blood proved their identities.
As for why a large number of remains were naked, there is no need for Japanese naval pilots to describe them in detail. The stunned generals of the Tenth Army Headquarters also knew that the cotton clothes must have become trophies of the Chinese army.
The remains of many Chinese soldiers have shown that those Chinese soldiers who came from the south went to the battlefield without even winter clothes. Suddenly they had cold-resistant clothing. No matter how disgusting it was, it was better to pick them off from the dead than to freeze to death themselves!
"After naval reconnaissance, the Takeuchi Unzan Division has been completely destroyed!" Kunisaki took the message sent from the Tenth Army Headquarters in disbelief and read it several times before finally believing this fact.
No wonder the Chinese dared to attack with a large army. Kunizaki was stunned and finally had the answer.
Although it was the answer he least wanted to face.
"Baga! Baga! All the Chinese are dead, dead." Kunizaki's stunned roar in the military tent silenced the Japanese officers standing more than ten meters away.
"Chinese, what are they doing?" Kunizaki asked in confusion after a long time, finally calming down.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, they are frantically digging fortifications and have not launched an attack. It seems that they are also quite scrupulous about our army's positions." The Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of Staff reported quickly.
The words were not spoken yet.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of violent shelling suddenly sounded.
Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose around the distant artillery positions.
The four mountain guns of Pang Dahai's mountain gun platoon gave the brigade-level lieutenant commander and chief of staff a resounding slap in the face at the right time.
The whole place was quiet.
Kunizaki walked out of the field tent in a daze, his face as pale as a dead man.
"Pass my order, the 3rd 8th Infantry Brigade will each detach an infantry squadron and a heavy machine gun squad, and send two additional infantry artillery squads to accompany them. They will rush south with all their strength. If they are blocked by the Chinese army, they will charge immediately. The remaining infantrymen will
The squadron will stick to its position and wait for follow-up orders." Kunisaki stared blankly at the clouds of black smoke rising from his own artillery position and ordered in a cold voice.
